Speaking of the dyno... Will the results be made available in spreadsheet form? I'd really like to work all sorts of geeky gear calculations and such later if possible. That is unless of course my car puts down ~170whp, in which case... I never want to see any proof of it again.

It is commonly known and widely accepted that black S2000's have 30 less HP than red S2000's on the dyno. In a related study, researchers found even stock red Civic Si outperforms stock black S2000 in every imaginable performance categories.

We give everyone the option to do that.

I doubt you'll be that low on HP. My two cents about what to do before dynoing your car on Saturday is a little maintenance. If you haven't done this yet... simple things like changing your oil, sparkplugs, and your air filter can reduce possibilities of low HP readings. If your car does read lower than expected, at least you'll be around the right people to help diagnose what could be going on.

That is actually one of the best mods - for performance and aesthetic - that one do for a black S2000. The only better mod would be to paint it red. But, hey, not everyone can handle a color as sexy And Fast as red.

I am going to pickup a bottle of Mobil 1 diff. oil is there anybody that needs a bottle as well? I am not doing tranny till next summer.

I assume that there will be a suction pump to push the fluid in with up there? If not let me know so I can pack mine up and bring it.

Same goes for the wrenches and such.(let me know if I should bring)
