Dyno Time
I wasn't really sure what to expect because I've seen stock numbers all over the place, but I'm happy with the results.
If I let the motor cool down a little more it'd probalby have put down a few more hp too, but I'm not too concerened about a hp here or there. I was just looking to get a good baseline number.
Edit: Oh yeah, it's a bone stock 2002 w/ just over 19k miles.
It was 96

Also, here's a comparison of the Nissan 2.0L VVL engine vs the S2k.
The Nissan motor should be making about 7-10 more hp and torque, but I have a different header on there right now (trying to tune some stuff) and the secondary section is apparently choking the motor a little bit...
I've put down 178whp and ~143ft.lbs with the car in the past.

Referring to the S dyno-would the powerband benefit from VTEC kicking in a bit earlier? Looks like it starts to flatten out then ramp up steeply as the big cam takes over. I am not a Honda expert so please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have my VAFC set to engage at 5700 and it definitely gets rid of the dip. I haven't looked at my dyno sheet in a while but I think it was a fairly smooth transition too. I don't think you would get any benefit from lowering it anymore for NA, it seems pretty good where it's at.
Yeah, you can adjust it, as you can see on the SR20 motor there's not as much of a dip. The intake switch is seamless, and the exhaust cam switch there's a little bit of a jump. My cam switch controller on that car is a little more complex than a VAFC, so i didn't feel like messing with it for a couple hundred rpm at most. I may get a VAFC for the S2k, dunno yet. It's a lot of time and tuning for a few hp when the car's still stock...

A VAFC is almost worthless for a stock or nearly stock vehicle IMO... Honda probably had a whole team of engineers to determine the proper VTEC transition point in the S2000.
