Congrats on the new mod, when I first joined S2ki.com, I asked what would be the most cost-effective mod for the S2000 and I was surprised to hear how many agreed upon 4.44 gears.
I've done some reading on the results you'll be having with the .44 gears and it appears to be very well suited for HRP, not to forget the mechanical advantage you'll have at accelerating in the lower gears which will improve drivability on the streets too.
When the break-in period is over with, I'd like another chance to sample the difference.

Hey Curry
Break them in for at least 600miles then do a full fluid changeout...then change it again at about 1500...at least thats my opinion. I had to break mine in on flat ground...you've got mtns
i'll bet you can feel the difference allready...tempting isn't it....

First he said don't go over 55 mph, and then said not to go over 4,500 rpms
It's soooo tempting. You're right, you can feel the difference even before VTEC
This mod is DEFINITELY worth it, and I haven't even driven it hard yet.
