I have heard many different things, VAFC, gears, obviously SC, I also know the S2K is not a drag car, but for people who want better 0-60 times, any recommendations? Experiences with lowering VTEC, etc? Thanks for all your input!

 

I'd say gears are your best bang for buck mod in acceleration...

 

Gears or sticky tires. Right now, I have the stickiest tires of all, and

 

nitrous...

 

The S/C wont help 0 to 60.

Not sure if the gears will either because you will have to shift one extra time making you loose a split second there.

Alcohol powered Jet engine might help

 

SlowS2K mentioned that lowering the VTEC crossover is not a good idea. You should ask him for reasons why.

You may want to get different gears if you want better 0-60 acceleration, but it will affect top speed and how many RPM's you turn at highway speeds.

Otherwise, get grippier tires and become a better driver (find the "perfect" launch).

 

4.44 gears will allow you to reach 60.6 MPH in 2nd gear, so they would be the best option. Anything lower (numerically higher) will require an extra shift before 60 MPH.

Sticky / light weight tires and wheels coupled with a strong clutch and light weight flywheel would also provide a lot of bang. Keep in mind that you would also need a reinforced diff housing to make sure it didn't blow up.

Weight savings would also be extremely helpfull.

I don't think engine mods would really make as much of a difference as the items above.

 

Strengthened half-shafts also. A Houston owner broke the ones on his S/C S2000 at the drag strip a couple years ago.

 

Camaro or Mustang... <smile>

 

Our cars have two cam profiles. One is designed for good torque at low rpm, but torque falls off at higher rpm. The other is designed for good torque at high rpm, but doesn't develop much torque at lower rpm.

At some rpm, these profiles each produce the same torque, and that is where you want to switch from the low-rpm to the high-rpm profile. Assuming Honda has done it right, and I don't see why they would not have, that rpm is the standard VTEC engagement rpm.

In other words, the torque curves cross. If you switch to the high-rpm profile at a lower rpm than standard (on a stock engine), the high-rpm profile will actually produce less torque than the low-rpm profile you switched away from.
