Default find 40-50hp for me?

I have a racing S2000 (road course). It is currently Honda Challenge HC1 legal with a 2.2L with AEM EMS, AEM Intake, Toda heaer and custom exhaust (resonator where cat was with a turndown).

Cams? Throttle body? thinner head gasket? head work? not sure what else?

(i already have comptech lightweight flywheel and rear gears).

any idea's?

There is an article in the Honda tuning mag 2 issues back (The one with the white and yellow s2k on the cover) that has an article about getting 50 whp with bolt ons. ITBs, cams, header and exhaust all tuned to work together. The kit was pretty expensive tho.

Call this guy: theoldone.com

With race gas you can easily get 40 more whp since you can add some serious compression, just talk to him.

He did my head.

race gas gets a bit expensive. try a meth kit...it does the same shit. Also, many other tweaks to the car that can add up to 20whp on top of the meth kit. I'm guessing 250~260whp is possible, but beyond that, you would need to spend a lot of $$$$. Also, you will NOT get 40whp from race gas. more like 10whp or so....same goes for the meth kit.

i have it tuned on 93 octane... 100octane is about $10.00 a gallon at the track vs $2.25 for 93.....

maybe I will just leave the car the way it is and try to drop a bunch of weight out of it somehow....
