Supercharge it and just pretend it's N/A
Too bad you can't pretend. Supercharger is too loud. You will know right away that it is supercharged.

Weight reduction will net you the biggest gains without going with a stroker.

i was under the impression this kit was not out yet. i'd assume rotrex is more quiet than centrifugal/roots/twinscrew chargers though.

t/b does very, very little unless you're going FI.

cams, ecu, mapping and i'd say, about 1 fortnight of evenings spent reading s2ki is the key
You have got to be kidding me, with a proper single 70mm header back. you are looking at between 10-15 WHP and about 30lb weight savings.....

Depending on what year s2000, you can spend very little money and get great gains N/A. Don't go slapping a bunch of random parts on your car, that is a good way to gain very little and possibly lose power, but if you do your research there is power to be had.
