oh i will, you dont worry about that.
i recently found out that you cant just bolt a SC kit up to your car. you have to bolt it up to a STOCK car, and if you use aftermarket exhausts it will cause lean conditions. thats gay. i used to have a closet SC fetish, but now i am going ITBs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screaming peak power? That's what wildcard thought too and look what happened. Mid-range on a SC? What's that about? The mid-range is whack. You don't make any decent power on a SC until you hit redline.

Are you kidding me? A turbo S2000 will PWNT an EVO from a roll. 

Turbo... it's going to be beat like a drunken abusive father beats his wife after not cleaning the house and having supper prepared in advance!
i just dont want to boost my s2k. it just seems wrong. i know it's cliche but the when the words N.A are mentioned the s2000 are almost always mentioned first. its the cars "bag baby." with EMS/Jenvey ITBs/my 70mm/4.44's and a trip to tq freaks in portland i am willing to bet i will be more than able to scare the shit outta some CTSC guys. hell right now i do and i am still hardly modded. if i can take .5 off my quarter(i bet on better tyres i could tickle 13.4's with my current setup) and run 13.0-12.9 with a NA 2.0 then i'll be more than happy. the next step, 2.4L stroker and i'll see you at 300whp WITHOUT the hairdryer hanging off the head.
Mine is in "limp mode" right now
It looks like complete hell. My door panels are in my closet (I'm getting a bunch of custom interior stuff done) and I have my passenger seat in my living room. My rear bumper is still damaged and my rear 1/4 needs to be popped out by a body shop. My hood and passenger's fender need to be realigned and massaged some because the hood closes awkwardly and on top of my front bumper in one spot! It hasn't been washed in over a a month (and detailing is one of my 3 jobs!) and my 4.77s are coming out sometime this week so it's going to be horribly slow (sorry to all you stockers out there but it's true!).
I'm leaving for Germany on Sunday (17th) for two weeks. When I return on the 1st, I'm having a hardcore month of fixing my car and getting my damn turbo kit in which is sitting in the corner of my room. Every time I walk into my room I see 5K worth of car parts sitting on the floor and it's killing me
All I need is an intercooler, misc. charge pipes, and some AEM sensors for my serial gauge which is en route to me right now.
Thanks for asking, I had to vent some.

If you get similar gains to wildcard's ITB's, you'll be at 240 most likely with your peak. With the massive midrange and gears, it's bye bye supercharger! The good drivers at the drag strip you'll be even with (you're correct at very high 12s if you can hook up) but the average Joe's will be wasted if they don't know how to keep their car boosting at all times.

Your 1320 times are VERY impressive. Without hesitation you are a GREAT driver and your S is making very good power.
