I think you should sum it up like this....
Go with the SC if:
1) Your not worried about more low end power..make max power at redline
2) Make your top end even more crazy
3) Bolt on and go setup (still may need to check the AF ratio)
4) Lower overall costs (no tuning needed)
Go with the Turbo if:
1) You looking for (alot) more torque down low (full boost a 3.5-4k rpms!)
2) Have a good( great tuner ) and have the extra money to get it tuned properly. The kit may say "Bolt on" but it if you dont get it tuned right...you will be bolting it right back off...lol
3) A lilttle more maintenance but you DO want to be proactive vs reactive to problems.
Both setups can be reliable but if your looking for the best setup for a "drag" type of situation the turbo gets the nod hands down. From a stop the turbo car is going to run away from the SC one. Theres just alot more down low power that comes on too fast for the SC. From a roll the SC can get into its sweet spot (near/in vtec) so it will be more of a race but the SC has to be "ready".
Just my 2 cents....Good luck!

I'm just looking for "MORE" power. Maybe SCs aren't even the power that I'm looking for because I'm so use to TORQUE from my e46 m3. I wish I knew someone local with a SCed S2000, so I can ride or test drive one.
I'm looking around for a used vortech or comptech kit, but I'm probably just gonna hold out for the Jackson Racing SC. Its suppose to be a new rotrex kit that gets max power at low rpms.
I've already decided against getting some wheels for my S. I really like the way it looks just lowered with a HT, so I'm putting the money towards FI.
