I wasn't so sure about it until I read that you maintained the 50/50 weight ratio and that it's going to be revving to 8k/9k.
How much weight did you add? If you can take any weight off elsewhere to make up for it, that'd be even better.
Good job!

3021 pounds fully wet + ~200 lb. driver... so roughly 2821-2841 total for the car alone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's less than the stock AP2 curb weight.

+70-100 lb. for an LS7 seems like the least weight added per horsepower added anyone could hope for, though!

Below is taken from^
"The S2000 still has a great weight bias of 49.9% front and 51.1% rear."
Umm lets try a little calculator equation.
49.9+51.1=101..... Math fail.....
Still seems like a Great car

Damn, just awesome. I had to rub out a quick one...
You wind up with the small, lighter S chassis (v. a C6), more exclusivity vs. a Vette, that's a _convertible_ when the mood strikes you, plus loads of low/mid range TQ from a handbuilt LS7 - without much compromise to the whole package.
Plus something really unique that will be a blast at cruise-ins/shows/etc.
Really fantastic job!

I'd much rather have a Hartley Hayabusa V8 in mine.
Seriously, the Hartley unit is awesome, and I'd love to see one in a fully dedicated track/race S2000, but if you want DD reliability and power, you can't do much better than the LSx family.
