Default New to the forums, question

Hey, I am looking at getting a 2004 s2000 and was wondering what are the most effective ways to increase the power? Are there any legit chips or flashes or am I going to be looking at CAIs, exhaust, SC etc.

Honda made it as good as it gets in terms of chips and flashes.

Start with bolt-on's.

The most effective is boost.

You can spend thousands on very minor gains with bolt-ons. Or spend thousands and get 300-600whp.

anywhere from 5k~15k depends on your power goals and if you want to buy new or used.

Power Goals are pretty modest, 300's are fine. Damn 5K is pretty up there, thought maybe there was something for 3K or 2K.
