What is the s2k line around onramp, tight or wide?

You mean off-ramp? Billy says that low-hp* cars should maintain as much momentum as possible and go wide. I agree

*low-torque is more appropriate I think in our case...

Here's a link to an in-car video of me driving Ed Lee's s2000:

*disclaimer - wasn't the best example of a lap, the tires were shot, but it should give you an idea.

Answer: go wide.

When this video was taken, I had not installed my yellow box yet so ignore the speedo in the film...it's way overstated.

Or I could have just made that up and Billy really is THAT fast.

So the car was re-geared.
