The s362 might be what you need. I wonder is the s360 is capable of 600whp, especially if you decided to lower the compression. Excited to see what you go with.

So glad you're back Kyle. I was bummed when you had to ditch your LS swap build (I'm in the beginning of mine now). Congrats on the daughter; is this your second kid?

Thanks Nesar. Definitely. I sold the GTO recently; just not too big of a car for me. Do you still have your project?

Thanks! I'll update the OP when I get started on LotusTalk. Currently, I've just begun accumulating parts. Haven't torn into the car thus far since it's perfect driving weather in our area.

Both are on the list for sure. Probably won't lower the compression much.

Thanks! Bad timing on my part I guess. Kings Performance/Amer committed to buying the car when it was still in storage. After moving into the new house/moving the car out of storage, I kind of wanted to keep it. Which LS swap are you working on? This will be the second kid; my son is now 3! I'll try to recreate my avatar when I order the new turbo lol.

Oh and congrats on your daughter as well. Yeah I have it. Its been sitting for a long time. I got it back from the shop after getting into it with them. They ruined the car so it will need a lot of work to get it back together. I am looking to pick up a used built block and swap it in, hopefully this summer. I have a ton of things to fix on her.

Yeah its easy to get very nostalgic and remorseful as you watch it get loaded on the trailer and hauled away. I'm doing a straight street build LS1. Full AC/heat, ABS, as comfy as possible. Keeping it mild so I still enjoy driving it, but it will still keep me entertained for a Saturday autox here and there. I had my first kid last month, so I know your pain of attempting car work during this time, lol.

Maintaining creature comforts (AC/heat/ABS) is an impressive feat. How far along are you with the build? Congrats on the kiddo

Thanks Scott. Yeah. I've lurked even when I didn't have an S2000 over the years. Finally building one that isn't Silverstone! I doubt my setup will ever be as well rounded/put together as yours I will never paint it/fix the aesthetic issues lol
