looking to see whats the most NA hp you can get out of an S2K ?
stock is around 200-205RWHP so im guessing after header, no cat, cat back exhaust and a good CAI you would be pushing 220-225RWHP ? am i close ? No internal mods like porting, cams, compression... Just bolt one's... Thanks

 

more like intake, header, exhaust, no cat, cams, throttle body, head gasket to lower compression, good ECU, and really, really good tuning...you might be able to milk out 230 RWHP, if that.

 

Here are a few insites into your question.

1. RWHP for the F20C can vary alot. 185-205, there are a lot of variables and causes for the differences.

2. Even with the best bolt-ons you could only be looking at 10-20 hp and that may not be peak power. alot of the bolt-on for this car improve midrange power/torque.

3. Most CAIs won't show power on a dyno.
Most dual exhaust will not make any power, need to switch to a single outlet.

It all depends on your baseline runs, make sure you have a an accurate way to judge your improvements.

Dyno your car completely stock
If possible do all the dyno runs in one day, on the same dyno, with the same operator
This is the best way to KNOW you are getting power.

Hope this helps, have fun searchng for the perfect combo, and Good Luck

 

HHHMMM... sounds like a Vortech is the best way to get some good power out of it ...

 

Hmmm... IMHO, it sounds like you want something besides this car.

I want a nice tight roadster that has 300RWHP, weigh's in at 2700#s and handles great out of the box unlike all the mustangs I have owned... Does this not sound like a S2000?(w/ a Vortech)

oh, And I already test drove one..

 

yea, 300rwhp is attainable with a SC.

 

The GVW of my vehicle is 3300+ lbs...do I have the wrong information?

 

thats different than curb weight.

 

I know, but the GVW is the actual weight of the vehicle, correct? So if you need a car @2700 lbs, you would have to strip the S down to its underwear!
