Car looks good, really good!
And Congrats on getting your car on the dyno with the K24. I'm sure you'll be in the ### neighborhood (i'll keep that number to myself), and if you're still too low, there's always the Novi S/C option on the F20/22 now, haha! I started that whole process 2 years ago, getting the S/C legal for the S2000 in STU, and now I'm basically done trying to make the car comeptitive (having not even attempted the S/C build on my own car). I have a family and don't make 6 figures annually, so it will take me many years to make the car competitive in STU. And by that time I'm sure it won't be a competitive platform anymore. I am fairly convinced the K24 setup with 300+ hp is the way to go for S2000's in STU, as it's light and relatively fast. You may not be able to hang on really open tracks, but on tighter tracks like Mid-Ohio it will be a competitor.
I hope your fuel cell is larger than mine, I have a 12 gallon and can only do 38 minutes racing on most tracks before it starts to starve in corners. 15 gallon or 17 for endurance racing, which is what I'm doing now. Still can't hang with the new SRF's, but I'm only running 220 whp with a mild build that needs some suspension improvements.
Also good that you are using the 4.10 final drive. I have a 4.57 and I think it will be a little short for you on some of the faster tracks. I was hitting 140 in the bottom of 6th on the Kansas Roval, but I was only at 200 hp then. If you're at a fairly high hp, then maybe you can find a 4.3# that will suit you everywhere. The 4.57 will be really nice a tracks like Mid-Ohio I would think, and maybe the 4.10 will be good on Daytona-like tracks, but a nice middle gearing would help you everywhere..if you can find it.
Okay, just my 2c.
Good Luck in your racing adventures!
p.s. I guess you're not running STU anymore, as there are a few things that you've done that aren't legal for the class, at least when I last looked at the rule book.
