Higher compression and boost (turbo or centrifugal SC) is definitely possible to mix correctly to well over 300whp. Your tuning window will be a bit
tighter, but any third party engine management system and a good dyno tuner will be able to pull it off.
The ECU in a S2000 or any high-revving factory motor is already tuned to capacity. There's really nothing to be had from a chip (Hondas don't
use chips anymore... hooray VW!) or a fuel computer (i.e. VAFC). The only time fuel tuning and VTEC management come in handy is when you're
introducing more air/fuel into the motor. (So it would be a good idea with the nitrous idea.)
Whoever lost to a C-SVT below 40 doesn't know how to drive his car. It's the same concept as "I don't want to have to rev the motor that
high to make power." Enter gearing. The S2000 will spin to its redline just as fast as your Contours do. First and second gear are hard to keep
off the limiter WITHOUT boost, as it is. Those statements are generally made by people who've never driven the S2K or a Si or a GSR. The redline
isn't as big a deal as the haters make it out to be.
I love you all. You're my special friends.
