If HP is really important to you and you are going to be racing quite a bit you may want to consider another car. The S2K can be made much quicker with the addition of FI but it's still going to cost you some jack. Have you considered the new EVO?

The S2000 was not designed as a drag car, the 350Z will be a touch faster. It's a roadster. In other words, IF I were to race a Z down the twisties, I WILL win.

S/C and turbo will put the car to about 300 RWHP (350 at the crank) The problem you may run into is putting that power to the ground effectively!

I havent driven an FI S2000 yet, so i cant say from experience, just from reading, and listening!

Just do some searches on here, and you will find an answer!

Good luck,
John
