Default s2000 tuning-please help

Just a quick question from the inexperienced-What is the best way to start tuning the s2000 engine and what sort of gains can be expected? I would really appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks much.

Just what are you looking for? And how much do you want to spend?

More grunt if possible, but without supercharger/turbo.

Ill take that as low end/NA

Youd prolly want to wait to see exactly what you can get out of the AEM EMS, for the money there isnt really alot you can do quick. The EMS would run close to a quality exhaust system and intake/ other mods (price) and get close to the same (if not more) gains. Your still talking a couple grand, but more than 5-10HP

If you tear into the motor, then all's game and its like an addiction.

Otherwise take it to a reputable tuner and spend 10k on internals and go NA, but you would still want the EMS.

For the time being, all I can suggest is patience.

Progress is being made, but just not at a superfast pace.

Naturally or Normally Aspirated

No forced induction (FI) turbo,supercharged

N/A or NA usually means lightweight parts, high compression, special cam grinds, very heavily R&D'd manifolds . . . and no Nitrous.
