The S2000 does not respond well to mods concerning peak numbers.
The S2000 does however respond well to some mods throughout the powerband. Midrange can be improved drastically, 15-20 HP on some cars with the right I/H/E and tuning. Also consider that most intakes dont create HP when strapped to a dyno compared to when the car is actually moving. Which also makes the H/E produce more numbers when the intake is collecting more air.
Hope this clears some things up.
Good Dyno plots compared to what other cars were making

I think car and track or some other large magazine where there was an error of 10-20% or so of different dynos. I saytake em for a grain of salt also dyno #s don't mean much if you can't drive ya well. Compared to most sports car, RSX, 350z yes the S is maxed out from factory. Lets not go FI either. In all honesty you pay a pretty prenny for HP gains on the s2k. To me its not worth it to spend to much, again all opinions 
How much did you spend s2kboy just curious!

A stock S2000 dyno'ed 190 on the same day right afterwards. That is a significant difference if you ask me, not to mention the much better mid-range on this car compared to the stock. More importantly, the area under the curve has also increased significantly.
