Since the S2K has a coil on plug design.. new plug wires are out, and I don't think MSD has an upgrade since our system is distributorless, you could change the plugs and or plug gap.
Other than that it sounds cool to me.

Looks great...
Looks like John Eagle Honda did a great job with the install. BTW, what is the red thing at the top right side of the engine bay, is that the adjustable fuel pressure regulator?
Would you say it's harder to drive the car now because of the tremendous torque?
I guess there is not a break-in procedure for the supercharger since you raced quite a few people today.
How's the clutch holding?
Thanks

...Do you still have stock exhaust with the SC?

Answers:
Miles Per Gallon:
With my stock S2000 I would hit 200 miles before my gas light would come on. When I installed the RM Racing cool air intake, that increased to 220-235 miles. Now with the Supercharger, and racing on the weekend, plus multiple GTech tests, I was back to 200 miles before gas light came on. How that is the same as stock, I do not know. It should technically be lower - but it just isn't. This is a report on my first tank of gas, same gas (93 octane Chevron) that I always put in.
ITR:
Yes that is an ajustable Fuel Regulator, it comes with the kit.
Mods:
I have no other engine, or exhaust mods. I have RM Racing sport sprints, and the RM Racing strut bar - but the rest of the engine and exhaust are stock.
Clutch:
I had ordered a "street" disk and plate from Comptech when I ordered the Supercharger. One of those items was/is back-ordered. The clutch seems like it may be a little weak for the power, but I've been super-sensitive in feeling for it knowing that it should have issues (in the long run) with the torque.
Driving:
Day to day driving is the same. This morning I drove in bumper to bumper traffic and it wasn't any different than normal. The clutch isn't any harder to pull up or engage. The car sounds a little different, and has more power without downshifting.
Issues:
Now that my gas light is on, I've noticed some sluggishness with the Supercharger. If I try to give it gas without downshifting (may happen with downshifting as well) it's sluggish/hesitates, then it goes. I emailed Comptech to see if this is expected with a SC, or if the regulator or pump need to be adjusted.

I was in the middle of updating the web site last night. Possibly you loaded it before I linked the image form the "intro" page. Try reloading.
