Default New to Forum, How ya'll doin?

My name is Rick and I'm quite new to forums. I myself own a 2002 Z06(daily driver) and a 1997 Turbo Camaro(toy). I know, I know - probably cars you guys don't like. However, my best friend just recently purchased a 2005 Suzuka Blue S2000, and we plan on doing some work to it within the month. But...this car is very different from my experience, so I turn to you gentleman.

If questions I ask have already been discussed, than please just throw the link my way.

1) I personally am a turbo guy, however, I think this low torque F22 engine would benefit more from a S/C. I haven't found an twin screw designs, so are the Centrifugal designs the only way to go? Also, back to my original wonder, IS a S/C a better idea than a turbo? We are aiming for about 400rwhp, which we have generally been told is not anti-ideal.

2) What are the weakpoints on the 2005 S2000? After making previously mentioned power, what will need to be upgraded? I'm guessing the clutch and axles.

Thank you for your time,
Rick

PS: Here's a picture of his car. All we've done to it thus far are coilovers.

Try asking in the "under the hood" forum or the "forced induction" forum, I'm sure someone will discuss the pro's and con's of this option.
