When will you get it? Why not just buy BlownAPs?

Soo glad to be done with school! Only benefit of age.
Silver9k...you at Embry-Riddle? You working for an ATP or something on the ground?

I'm going to keep the limit on that graph to 6 people. Any more than that, and I think it'll be too cluttered. Since silver9k doesn't have any of these mods anymore, his will probably be the one chopped first if someone else wants in on this...then 2qwk4u, since he's now turbo. I'd like to leave his plot up there for awhile though, to demostrate the difference in midrange the AP2 has over the AP1.

So, when I do dyno, which should be sometime this month, or very early in Jan. I plan to do stock with only flywheel and K&N filter. Then to swap on the testpipe and see the gains from that.
I'm looking for a VAFC2 in the very near future and also some sort of header.
I'd like all of your opinions on a header though. I really don't know what to get, I will be getting the Mugen SS exhaust eventually so not really a power gainer, but I want the sound. But I don't know what header I should get to really get some good mid-range with the SS and test pipe. Perhaps J's, ASM, Mugen, Ricks, Version's secret header...
I'm also looking to getting a different TB and actually doing a before and after dyno to see if it really makes a difference. Not expecting much in peak (since you didn't get much from ITB's) but perhaps at little bump in the midrange.
Then, the thinner head gasket, and maybe get the head shaved slightly to bump it up another .2-.3 and have a 11.5 total compression.
Though getting that far will probably take me a little while.

I compilated a list of headers that are out and are coming out, and was going to start a seperate discussion on them, but since you brought it up, lets just go for it
Amuse R1: tri-y design, 10 lbs, it is the lightest header for the S2000. Gains of over 10hp mid range and 2-5 hp peak (manufacturer claims). ~$1600
ASM 2.2 SPL : tri-y design, no known dyno plots though, but it IS on the ASM S2000...~$1500
Feels Header: 4-1 design, long primaries, no know dyno's. ~$1400
Fujistubo Super Ex: tri-y design. 10 lbs weight savings, 8 hp gains (manufacutrer claims). ~$800
J's SPL: tri-y design. 50mm piping. Typically good results from s2ki member's posts. ~$1200
Mugen: tri-y design. 10hp@6000rpm, little to no peak HP Gain. Weight savings: Approx 10lbs (manufacturer claims). ~$1300
Toda: tri-y design. Typically good results from s2ki member's posts. ~$1100
Tracy Sports: tri-y design. New. Not much info, but looks pretty ~$1200
Comptech: 4-1 design. Manufacturer provided dyno comparison here: http://www.comptechusa.com/store/media/dyn...-comparison.pdf ~$900
Megan: Tri-Y design. 2" primaries, 2.5" secondaries. Manufactured claims of improved upper mid to peak. ~$400
Berk Technologies: Tri-y design. Still in development. 6-7 hp gains peak in combination w/ test pipe (so far). ~$600
Rick's: tri-y design. maximum gain of six horsepower at 6200 RPM. Torque increases of about 3 or 4 were also achieved, along the same range as the horsepower gains. Like the Mugen header, horsepower with Rick

If there are any I missed, let me know.
I don't know which one to go with yet. We'll see after I do the exhaust, where it needs it next. I'll probably go with a 4-1 design to maximize peak power.
