First welcome to the board. Second, I think it is better just to drive the car stock for a little and get used to the car before you go FI but it is your car. To get 300 hp you can go with a Vortech or Comptech supercharger. Both will put out close to 300 rwhp. There are also many different turbo kits. Spool, Speed Craft, Ultimate Racing. I would very much recommend reading up on the car and learning more about it before getting any of these kits because the S2000 engine (F20c) is a high compression engine and cannot handle a lot of boost on stock internals.

Two main choices, N/A, or FI. If you want serious power, wrong choice of car. If you want style with quickness, and finess, this car is the best. It is by no means a brute.

you have so many choices to get to 300 whp. This is not hard. We carry Vortech. You can give us a call and I'll be happy to answer all of your questions.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Completely agree with above statement.
Cheers,
Daniel
