Explain the SRS light then? There was no other difference with the wiring that we did on one vs the other, this was the only link.

SRS light or not his car is just as fast as my car is.

I can't explain it, but I suspect some connector was broken, disconnected, or zapped by electro static discharge. Similar problems happen with O2 simulators. Some people can install an O2 simulator and it works perfectly, others will get occasional CELs, and yet others will get CELs after only 2 miles. It's "Electrickery".

gottcha, well I don't think my car has any of that.

I think a OBD-II could be hooked up and clear the code and it should be fine.

all I know is that I can pull 6-8 car lengths on a stock S2000 by 100 MPH.

There may be some sort of SRS master reset or something. An OBD-II scan tool probably won't do anything more than an ECU reset would (pull fuse #25 for 30 seconds with the car turned off). If you have a Helm's manual, there should be a diagram of the SRS system (connectors, sensors, etc.) and a troubleshooting procedure.

We need to race now. j/k, unless you want.

Anyway, your setup looks VERY nice! Be careful!

quikag,
I am learning to drive the car all over again. Although it is manageable power.

I am sure there is still nothing comparable to raw V8 power.

CMiS2k,

You need to get your car dynoed at a local dynojet to see what kind of power it's making. I'm wondering if it's over 300rwhp.

I think 300 rwhp is pretty common without a tuned V-AFC. With his current mods, and a tuned V-AFC, he will likely see 315+. If he gets a better header (Toda), I would expect another 15.
