Please pardon my ignorance regarding S2000 heatsoak. I live in Florida and don't seem to have any problems with loss of power even in the summer. My car is completely stock. I drive fairly aggressively and have never noticed a heat soak issue.

I did make the coolant bypass. When I did, there was a noticeable increase in low end torque - not dramatic by any means, but nice to have.

Do a search for the Radmat... it reduces hot air to the stock intake and is cheap and effective.
