You should do cams, springs, and retainers, get your valves readjusted which probably no one has ever done, some sort of intake, headers, and a nice exhaust setup, and of course a good tune. This would give you the extra 50whp you wanted and with a price tag of about half the price of a turbo or supercharger.

The street price for the greddy kit is 4k, ~290whp, carb legal. It would be pretty hard to do all that for 2k. You'd be making less whp, and you wouldn't be carb legal.

Cams (skunk2 stage 2) = MSRP $796.77 Street Price $650-$700
Valve Springs (skunk2 pro series) = MSRP $397.05 Street Price $300
Retainers (skunk2 titanium) = MSRP $226.10 Street Price $200
Valve Readjusted? Your right, nobody has EVER done that one.
Race Valves (ferrera +1.00MM oversized) MSRP $345.80 Street Price $300
Intake (J's) = MSRP $1300 Street Price $1200
Header (J's) = MSRP $1400 Street Price $1300
Exhaust (T1R 70RR) = MSRP $1800? Street Price $1300?$1400?
Tuning (AEM EMS) = MSRP $1500 Street Price $1300
Total of MSRP $7765.72 Street Price (lets say you get 15% off retail, which you NEVER will unless it's a huge shop that really likes you) $6600.86
1/2 the price tag of a supercharger or turbo? Greddy MSRP $5599.00 Vendor Price on S2Ki $4200 . So, even at the MSRP price of the Greddy Kit, it's still -$1.86 less. At the S2Ki vendor price, it's $2400.86 less that your "all motor build". With plenty of room for a 3" turbo back exhaust and additional tuning with the greddy emanage.
Wow, maybe you should redo your math. I think you might have it the other way around
I planned on going all motor, but the CARB legality of the kit, and the 290whp+ of a BOLT-ON turbo kit with a base map, you cannot beat the price and reliablity of the kit. BTW, if you ask anyone about a all motor build, with the items that you listed, they would laugh at you When you can beat the price of the greddy kit at cost/whp gained, then come back to this tread and bash me. Do a little research and you'll find that all motor power, does not come easily. I'm just trying to show you that there are other ways of attaining power with the S2000. All motor will not be cheap (nor will any mod with this car), and try to be open to what others are trying to tell you.
