i, personally, am not designing it, i am just helping with test data. it should preform equally on both motors.

I talked to some guy who had an AP1 with an AP2 tranny swap. He said he had 4.77 gears but somethign ni 4th and 6th to make it not rev as HIGH on the highway. He also mentioned how he had a 4.57 final drive. Sorry, I'm not to sure how the gear mechanics work.

So, if this guy saying that the cams alone should make an additional 40rwhp, or is that in combination with ITBs?
40whp with cams. what about tuning, supporting mods. is it just 40whp on a stock car. i highly doubt that.

I talked to Brian Crower about the cams he makes and he told me that his cams are good for 20-30rwhp with tuning. He charges $575 for both cams.

20-30rwhp isn't really that great when compared to the 100rwhp gains Cobras/Vettes get from cam upgrades.
I am currently sitting at 220.02 rWhp and will be adding Skunk2 cams, valves, springs and retainers. James at JE Imports in Baltimore is a first class tuner and is expecting well over 230 rWhp after the cam install. I will provide an update when the installation is completed.

If I look at it from a percentage gain perspective, I agree with you.
S2000: goes from 200rwhp to 225rwhp with upgraded cams = 8.9% gain
Cobra: goes from 400rwhp to 500rwhp with upgraded cams = 8% gain
S2000: goes from 200rwhp to 225rwhp with upgraded cams = 8.9% gain
Cobra: goes from 400rwhp to 500rwhp with upgraded cams = 8% gain
