Do the gears first! PM Puddydaddy and SubZero. Puddy builds great diffs and Subzero can cryo it to make it stronger.

So there is an easy $4000 and you MIGHT get 20 whp.


For 2K more you can have a Kraftwerks SC with 360+ whp!

But to NA/s defence, you need a midpipe and catback if you boost too, and could use a header for S/C. That is a good place to start to me, and if you get an intake you can always sell it on the forums here.

My old car had 386Rwhp, so i know the S2000 will never match, unless i get a turbo, or supercharge it. This isn't my intention...
I understand what he is saying. Going SC was not my intention either. But after 8 months of research I decided that the money to power ratio, coupled with my modification philosophy ment I had to consider the possibility. KW SC was the best fit for me because I live in FL a hydrolock from a CAI is a real possibility.

I still stand by my initial statement...do the gears first.

Yea just like the people who say "I don't want to mod the car, just enjoy it" Then they end up on this site and blow their life savings like Chevy Chase in Vegas Vacation.

Bang for the buck NA hands down gears! Really helps out down low where the car really lacks from the factory. Since you have an AP2 tranny already I would go with 4.44 or 4.56/57 as 4.77 would maybe be a little too much. I would personally most likely like that but for most it would be too much.

Eh, i wouldnt say watch out for over steer, id say watch out for snap over steer, the car naturally wants to understeer but every once and a while depending on what ur doin the mother ****er snaps right out from under you, its easy to get used to once you learn the predictability of the car

Snap oversteer would only happen if you do something really dumb. Otherwise it is easy to tell when it is about to slide out. Any sudden throttle blips around a turn can cause it to spin out but if your not dumb about it there will be no issues.
