Default Spoon Head Gasket...

This is it... http://www.modacar.com/products/Honda/S2000/MODAHEG/
Edit: Dang, that's for AP1.... what about AP2?


Now after doing some searching on s2ki.com I realised that this might be one of the last mods I wanna do to my motor. I have K&N Filter, Test pipe and HKS Hi-Power. Now my question is, has any one had any experience with thinner gasket and has any opinions, recommendations and hopefully proven power gains with it?

I love the car as is, not looking for anything crazy. $210 is not crazy pricing and I would like to spoil the car one more time before I tell her no more power goodies. lol So here on the East Coast 93 is available, better then back in AZ and I would love to be able to go ahead and push everything out of the motor that's left.

Any Pros? Cons? On this idea.

Thx guys!

Ps.. One more thing.... this intake Cover on/off theory is killing me! I put my intake cover back on 2 months ago and drove it couple times and she feels a bit more sluggish off the line and all. *Confused* Granted I've seen that room mates AP1 gained 3hp with intake cover off, but people blamed it on the open hood.

oh I thought it was thinner. Maybe im wrong. Maybe its the Euro & JDM s2k's gasket that is actually thinner then and not spoon.

more than knowing if its thinner or not, you should find out how it effects the compression ratio, call spoon up im sure then can tell u
