[B]Littleton,
I am leaving the stock clutch in for while so I don't run into some of the drivetrain issues that have been encountered by some of the other modded cars.

It helps because right now the clutch is the first (and probably weakest) point of failure in my drivetrain. If something is going to go, it will be the clutch. Look at Wesmaster's car with the upgraded clutch. His diff. broke because his clutch didn't give, that's what I'm trying to avoid.

Cool. The turbo sounds like it really helps with the torque on the low end. Sounds like a very interesting mod to do.

Can't believe that you can have a "sleeper" S2K now.

Just curious...what type of issues did you experience with the FMU that an AIC was able to resolve? Were you starved for fuel with only the FMU? and also which fuel pump are you running...walbro 255lph?

Thanks!

Everything you said is true, except for this. The SC starts to see gains vs stock at 3,000 RPMs.

I think it would be sweet to get a video of Derryck, a SC S2000 and a stock S2000 all lined up and racing each other to 100 MPH. That would sell a few turbo kits.
