Where'd you get your info? 240 is stock on the S2000 powerplant so I'd imagine with minor mods you'd beat the 240 you stated.
Well yeah 6psi won't do much. He's trying not to blow up his newly rebuilt motor.
40-60hp from a supercharger? Where are you coming up with this stuff? A JRSC can boost 10psi. Supposedly it can go above 10psi, but i doubt it. Vortech is usually about 6-10psi.

you have put wayyy too much money into your car. with what you have, i doubt your car would see 12's. come on, thats a 17 second car stock. i barely have any mods and i havent been to the track cuz theres none around me. but from asking other people with my exact mods i can tell you that with some good tires im in the 12.9-13.3 range, easy.

Why is it too much money? If he has it why not spend it? Its not a 17 second car stock. Its mid 15's stock(I believe he has the b16 engine).
You won't always get what everyone else gets. 60% driver, 40% car.

in a street race i think you would be left behind. i have raced a del sol with turbo before and i gained on him and passed him steadily and easily. im not saying your car is slow. its slow for how much money was dumped into it. the more you do to ur car, the more unreliable it is. all i have to do is get long tube headers, underdrive pullies, mass air and i would hit high 12's consistently; all n/a. even cheaper... i could just get 4.56 gears and thats it. for right now, im leavin my car alone. i commute to school everyday. i speed as it is. i dont need a 10 second car with ME driving it. when my loan is almost payed off i need to decide if im going to put t76 turbo in my car or just get the brand new 2005 mustang 5.0 dohc, over 400hp n/a. decisions, decisions.

Well you don't know that you'd beat him & you don't know that'd he get left behind in a race either.
If the rebuilds are done right & spend the money for quality parts, the car will last.
With larger displacement engines it takes less to increase horsepower.
I have a lead foot and the points on my license to prove it. I still want a faster car. Maybe I'll build up my Si or maybe I'llget another car. I tend to lose interest in things real quick. I have a feeling I'll have owned about 10 different by the time I'm 30.......
