How to get 30lbs more torque?

Yes, been through all of that with my last car. The bottom line was that, as long as you flashed back to stock before going to the dealer, there was basically no way to tell even though the engine's ECU (LSx series) was capable of recording the hash of the last 10 flashes. But GM never used it that way, and at least one forum member had blown his engine on a tune, tuned it back to stock, and then took it to the dealer with no problems. That's why I want a handheld tuner, so I have the ability to tune back at will.
But that being said, I have no idea what Nissan's capabilities are in terms of detecting previous flashes. Does anyone else? Any Nissan / Infiniti techs on here?

E.g. LastChance had his engine warrantied; shavings were found in his oil pan. Obviously, the reflash had nothing to do with it, and thus, he got a new engine.
For the most part, as long as you are reasonable, and have a reasonable dealership readily accessible, you shouldn't run into warranty issues.
Torque is a direct function of displacement; you will get roughly 75 +-5 ft/lbs of torque for every 1 liter of displacement, regardless of horsepower output. (does not apply when boost is in the equation)
With the 335's twin turbo boost controlled by an aftermarket flash, I would think just about anyone would have trouble with those. That would probably make them ridiculously fast.
So I get it - turbo kit for real power + goodbye warranty or be happy with a tune, full exhaust and possibly a cai for, what, 20 - 30 whp tops? 15-20 lbs torque? I'm coming from a G8 GT with a just a tune, and that had me close to 400 lbs of torque. I just need to accept my current reality I suppose, or buy those turbos, I guess

On the other hand, if you did a LSx swap into a G, you'd have one very unique car. The swap has been done on a 350z before, so I would imagine you wouldn't have to pioneer everything.

Little off topic but I use to love the torque in my 1987 WE4 Turbo Regal. Stock engine was underrated at 355 lb/ft @ 2,000 rpm
Nice strips here with posi. As long as you went straight you were good

Gotta love those turbo regals. Here's link to a sick LS2 350z - check out the engine bay! But the point is, is that apparently people LSx-swap engines into Nissans all the time....
