My S2000 is close to 400 crank horsepower, but wouldn't put anything to the wheels considering the diff is destroyed! Haha.

The S is built and tuned for it's current configuration. Changing dynamics to that extreme would blow something including your warranty. For every action there's a reaction. Remember, this 4 banger is the best in the world. "Don't fix what ain't broke."

trying to get 400hp at wheels is like spending 60-80k some board members have tried this and so far has not made it yet, best choice is s/c or a turbo system with low psi (due to high compression)

WTF?!



You give me 20k US and I'd bet my right nut, AND my left nut, that I could get an F20c to hit 400 at the wheels!


I already managed 364 without a built block, and 1 hour of AEM tuning with a vortec running an 11 psi pulley and 785cc injectors.
