Hey fellas, I was just wondering, with all the mods everyone has done, and all the information on this board, sometimes it all runs together. What if we just list the mod that gave us the best performance gain(or feel), and where we got it? Price is optional, but it would help a lot. Thanks for your replys!!!

Andrew

Mid Ohio 3 day High Perfomance Driving School and 2 track days for homework. Best money I ever spent. Made my stook faster and safer.

I dont know if there is a best one. Though I heard the Mugen ECU gets us lots of power(dyno results anybody?!)

Though the Mugen headers which I did I think made the biggest gain!(personally its a must in my head) Another must is the P-Flow TB bore almost as much power but 1/10th the price!

Totally agree, this is by far the best investment you can make in your Stook. The beauty of it is that you can also take this performance mod with you and use it on any other vehicle you may drive now or later.

Good call, this should be a given in my book, or at least peeps should try to LEARN how to drive and not just drive. But I am looking for hp here, thanks again sir.

I have done no engine mods but have substantially improved the handling of the car with the Mugen front sway bar (31.5mm) $340 from King Motorsports. This should have been stock IMO. Much faster cornering and more stable feel overall.

I also recommend a new horn as the stock one sux and wouldn't get anyone's attention.

Thanks, that is a definite for me, as well as some(not sure which yet)lowering springs.

IMHO, we will ONLY see significant performance gain if you have the Comptech supercharger Comptech Website. However, it costs @$5K USD. Getting the SC will certainly void your Honda factory warranty however Comptech warrants the SC for 2 years and would cover your engine if it is ever blown because of the SC. Personally, I think the K&N filter gives you the most bang for your $$$. With this mod, you would gain 3 more HP and 2 lb-ft of torque (dyno proven) and it will cost your @$46 USD. You can check it out here. Part number is KNN RE-0810 K&N Filter. Check out other cat back exhaust systems if you want to HEAR your S2K going faster but they will certainly give you better rumbling sound than the stock exhaust. Comptech, RM Racing, HKS, Neuspeed, etc all have cat back exhaust system for the S2K. However, I think the stock exhaust is pretty much exceptional already. The choice is yours!
