Default To sell the vortech S/C'r or not?

While looking for an S2000 or Vette, I found an s2k for sale with a very nice price tag. Among other mods, it has a Vortech S/C'r which I am not too excited about. I'm mostly just wanting a car for autoX'n and the way it's set up right now is not that great for it. I see a kit for sale on ebay right now (eBay auction) That's currently at 3,550.00

Is it worth selling off the S/C'r and some of the other mods to try and make a few bucks, plus restore it to near stock?

Exterior:

JDM clear side markers
3.5 inch Short flat black antenna
Debadged S2000 badge
Painted Calipers - Red
2004 S2000 bumper Conversion
Shave emblems off front bumper
Shave license plate hole off front bumper
2004 plastic undercarriage
Satin black hood (I think it looks aweful)

Interior:

Autometer A pillar dual gauge pod
Voodoo Black shift knob (counter sunk)
2 Corbeau Clubman racing seats
Blacked out center console
Autometer vacum/boost Guage with Amber bulb to match OEM dash lights
Autometer A/F ratio Gauge
Wind guard IMPORTSNC.COM decal (That would have to go)

Suspension:

Espelir lowering Springs - lowering F(20mm), R(20mm)
- spring rate F(5.3kg), R(7.0kg)
Koni Yellow Adjustable struts (lowered on 2nd perch)

Wheels:

Custom Center Cap
ASA AR1 Black (Ehh, they look alright, but they're heavy!!!)
215/45/17
245/40/17

Audio:

JVC MP3/CD player

Engine:

Vortech Supercharger Head Unit
DENSO Iridium - IK24 spark plugs
Fuel Management Unit (FMU)
By-Pass Valve Kit
High-Flow Fuel Pump
Ignition Controller (Boost Retard)/Computer Chip
Aftercooler
K&N High-Flow Filter
E-manage Blue
Boomslang plug and play harness for E-manage
O2 Sensor Spacer (cell code correction)
Single custom cat-back exhaust with insert

Standard Engine 2.0L 240 hp I4 Specifications:
Horsepower 200 @ the wheels
Torque (lb-ft) 120 @ the wheels

Specifications after supercharger:
Horsepower 302 @ the wheels
Torque (lb-ft) 189 @ the wheels

Any of that stuff worth selling off for stock parts or will it be too difficult and should I just race in SM2 instead?

I'd keep all of those mods. I'd love to have a lot of them. I'll give you my stock induction system for the SC

And here is the dyno chart of that car. That torque curve really isn't too horribly bad. It's not as flat as stock, but at least it's not a turbo'd 4cyl EKG blip. Also, the A/F ratio seems fairly safe, which was another concern of mine involving boosted s2k's. It never crosses 14:1

That looks like a pretty good torque curve. I'd stay with the mods. Car should be a blast to drive as it is set up now. If you want the stock interior/exterior look you could sell of that stuff of pretty easily.

AR1's heavy? How much do you think stock wheels weigh?

No idea how much stock 17's weigh, but if they're anything like the stock 16's, than they're heavy also. The Kosei's are a little over 13lb front and 15lb rear. For the money that's not bad, but they don't look very good IMO.
