Well, for starters...
This is the best quote ever... and will possibly find it's way into my signature sooner or later. I highly recommend that you patent that line! 
Too much power is in the eye of the beholder. There are many people on the boards who believe that the stock S2000 is plenty of power, there are some who think that a basic supercharger is plenty of power, then there are us!
It seems as if you already have plans of a daily driving and are hoping to use the S2000 as a weekend toy. There are the initial obvious things that, at this level will need to be considered - such as tires, suspension, clutch, etc etc. However, in terms of being controllable... I have seen people driving a SOHC Non-Vtec Civic and lose control, while at the same time watch someone control a 1,000whp+ Supra. Driver skills and abilities will come into play when a car, such as the S2000 is making extremely high amounts of power.

If you dont have traction in 1st,2nd or 3rd, just shift to 4th

Thx you guys for all the help so far. My setup is going to be a Inlinepro kit, EMS, GT35R, 3mm or 2mm HG (not sure which one yet), 1000cc injectors, dual walbro fuel pump, Ironman clutch.
How much would it cost me to do internals? I know this all plays into which ones I would want to do. Which ones would you recommend if I did go that route and how much? I am starting off with the power, then I am doing suspension when I have the funds. One step at a time. Thanks again guys.

Gosh I am not sure if I want to though, I am hearing about people putting down 500+ whp with using a HG. I know there is a big debate on how much those actually help. Oh on that list I should of added a GOOD tunner.

How many people on here are in the 500whp club. I know Bigpurp, inlinepro, cody... who else? How are you guys putting the power to the ground?
Inline pro is using mickey thompsan's (did I spell that wrong) and laying down rubber though like 3rd I think. I am sure they did there suspension with that though.
