Default More Horsepower

The car has been out a few years now and we're still stuck looking for reliable & street legal ways to get more horsepower out of our S2000 (torque mainly). My brother in law showed me his DYNO runs that he had done yesterday. He owns a 96ish M3. Its currently pushing 392hp to the wheels and I think the torque was rated over 310, if I remember correctly. And I know he's still looking for more ways to get more power from the car.

I also know this guy who is getting Talon built (should be done early next month). He paid this tuner shop about 5 grand to give him 500-600 hp. But then again his car isn't going to be street legal. It'll be a sleeper though.

I don't know why I'm posting this, I guess I want a 500 hp street legal S2000 for under 3 grand. Is that to much to ask

your asking too much, even 6k would still be far off

Let's see, a 200 shot NOS bottle, a turbo set at 18 psi of boost, and removal of the exhaust system, including the cat. You'd be able to smoke Ferrari's, maybe a couple. But I wonder how long the car would last in those circumstances. By the way, this setup is not street legal. Duh!
