Exclamation Help with hesitation. I give up.

I knew it. I drove my friends 2007 Honda S2000 with 65K miles and it runs perfect. Before that, he drove my 2006 Honda S2000
and stated "seems like some hesitation" and I was like, it is normal I think. After driving his car I was beyond depressed. His
car accelerated and drove perfect. My car has had these issues for a year now and at this point I will drive anywhere in the US to a
reputable person to get this shit fixed.
(Frankly, I wish I could take it to someone like Billman but I know how busy he might be)

This is what I have done to my Honda S2000 AP2 with 67K miles:

New Spark Plugs
New MAP
New K&N Intake (It did it before and after the install)
Valve Adjustment
New drive-by-wire sensor (the one by the fender)
New Fluids

I can not find what is wrong and I need help. I live in Orlando, Florida and work for a defense company with tons of PTO saved up. I am willing to drive out. I have no idea what else to do.

Since you're in Florida, LHT Performance isn't too far. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way, I just follow their YouTube channel)

Just go to Billman man. Make a trip out of it once the weather clears up on the east coast.

I would personally do a compression test as the next step.

When you state "hesitation" does it feel fine up to a certain rpm and then it falls on its face or does it lack power at all rpms?

Guessing a sensor or something electrical. I could be way off base on this but maybe getting a flashpro and collecting some logs could help someone diagnose remotely.

Run a bottle of Redline fuel system treatment, one bottle treats two tanks of fuel. This could clear any fuel injector issues if they exist. Cheap enough to try, given your miles it is a good time to do it, can't hurt. Hesitation issues are usually fuel or electrical, good to see the plugs have been done, assuming the coilpacks are good my first bet is the injectors.
