It must be the 4.5" exhaust tips you have.
Seriously, either you have absolute crap tires or insanely bad wheel alignment. I don't even chirp in 3rd with 370WHP and I drive hard. Granted I don't beat the living piss out of my car... in between shifts.
Stop terrorizing your S2000

Making 420whp and I don't chirp third gear.
Are you running nangkangjangming cheapo chinese tyres in a pizza cutter size?

So the tire grade is what's allowing it to chip so freely into 3rd...Hum, learning...thanks

It's likely to be a contributing factor. For reference IIRC the s2000 came with a 140TW tire from the factory.

Is your alignment oem? Mine has a k&n intake, skunk2 catback and berk hfc and ill spin a good bit in second but nothing when coming into third. I'm running all seasons with with a lot of tread left so I'm not on great tires but unless you're tuned your s2k with w proper alignment and summer tires shouldn't Chirp 3rd. Nothing wrong with chirping the tires but without a tune your mods shouldn't have added more than maybe 10 hp and that's only cuz ap1's run pretty lean from what I understand.
