no chips out. only thing close is the Mugen ECU, which is a hefty 1500 bucks if I do recall, and another kit to adjust vtec to come in a few hundred rpms sooner, other than that, no chip.

dont believe everything, or actually anything your dealership tells you. they are sales people and they are only there to sell you a car. so they will also tell you that honda will be only producing x number of s2000's, it will stop production very soon and never be produced again, and other little mis-leading information to get you to buy a 'rare' car or a car that is easy to hop up.

this car is difficult to make any more powerful, sure, there are little things you can do, but all in all, Honda has done a great job squeezing out the most horsepower out of this car. the closest you can get to the 75+hp is the Comptech supercharger, but for $5K and 90hp, some say its worth it. Do a search through the threads and judge for yourself.

King Motorsports is an authorized Mugen dealer... They sell it for $1500.00 and they recommend buying a lower temp thermostat + higher pressure radiator cap along with it... I have one but haven't installed it yet (considering my car is on jacks with no wheels + a half disassembled engine, its not going to need a Mugen ECU anytime soon )

If you're talking about Comptech:

Here's some photos from my visit there:
