The first step you should do is use the SEARCH function. Then look into the introduction forum.

Single 70mm exhaust = 10hp
CAI Intake = 2-3 hp
Gears
2000-01 run a little rich, so you can use a vafc or 2002-2003 ecu to gain some hp. Please tune properly with vafc

If you have the money and you can get away with it for emissions testing, seriously consider going to a full stand alone AEM EMS. I had a vafc for years...was a great mod, but recently got a good deal on an EMS and the change was dramatic across the entire power band. If I'd known it was that big of a difference, I would have saved my money up and gone EMS from the beginning.

Expect to pay about $1250 for a 1052 EMS and another $300 for the tuning. Or about $150 for a VAFC and $175 for the tune.

Also, be warned...the exhausts that make hp are usually singles and loud unless you want to pay some major bucks. The T1R 70mm is probably the most cost effective at about $1200 USD, but it's loud. The J's 70RS single (not the RR) is quiet and reportedly gives decent gains at about $1600. In the real world, expect to see 12-18whp out of a 70mm single.

Yeah unless you have a ton of money, n/a you're limited here...
...and search before you ask any questions cause 99% of the questions you'll have, are already answered. Then that 1% left over is probably covered too...

first mod for yours since it is a 2000 S2000 should be either a '02-'03 ecu or some type of piggy back to tune with. The early S2000 ran very rich!

Second best bang for the buck would be a Voodoo shift knob from Rick's!

Third is gears....... This would greatly improve the low end feel of your ride.

outside of that, everything else is for bling effect and personal preference. Nothing else is really going to give you very much HP for the money. Not even a full exhaust gives you much
