Default May Import Tuner

Anyone want to discuss the newest article? It really does show how much money it takes to gain so little hp when keeping this car N/A. I would think the car should liven up a lot more if they junk the stock airbox and install a good intake. AEM EMS really did remove a awsome job of straigtening that hp/tq curve. I donno about the exhaust and header choice.

Skunk2 exhaust 10whp gain, 5zigen header 5whp gain. There baseline was only 187. Final number with AEM tuning 207. Magazines are all BS. Dont go by it.

that depends on whether or not you care about the exclusivity of owning an S2000 or not

exclusivity? regardless of who owns the car or not, they produce the numbers they produce. it's not gonna be anymore rare by having second hand owners. they don't magically come up with used s2000's.

Hes probably talking about the people who are going to buy the car and rice it completely out or drive like idots and give us a bad name... but then again more will be totaled also leaving fewer and fewer. Anyway they made the comment that the dyno would yield lower hp numbers.
