Thanks man, very helpful info. 
I dont want to get on the topic of "clutches" in Mase's product release thread, however it may be a good idea to post in here what the best option for clutches is to accomodate his kit.
That being said, the Competition Clutch kit - 4 puck, would be Stage 5 (says strictly for drag strip??)
two options available - sprung or unsprung (which would be the one we want)?

i rock a clutchmasters stage 3, and that feels pretty much like stock. problem is it wont hold the tq associated with 500whp.
pick ur power goal, the buy a clutch according to that.

if u want 400whp, then you can go with a clutchmasters stage 3 clutch, its a disc clutch and will feel very similiar to stock. but if you want more then 400whp, your gonna need to step up to a puck cliutch or a twin disc, which is very expensive. my buddy called inlinepro when he was gonna mase turbo his car and they said the competition clutch 6 puck wears out prematurely, and they highly recomeneded the comp clutch 4 puck with comp clutch lighweight flywheel, since puck clutches usualy eat flywheels, this flywheeel is designed with that in mind.

we already went around this merry go round once. that clutch is rated to 380tq fylwheel. why in the world would you put that into a car that is going to most likely make 350+ ft lbs to the wheels.

Mase~ I hope you still have these kits available during next winter/spring time. I still haven't made a clear cut choice of which side of the Force I want to go with. The dark side(turbo) or the light side(Supercharger). 
However, I did make a choice on which of these systems' have the best(so far) manufacters. For supercharger, I'm going with SoS and for turbo kit, Inlinepro. When/if you have your turbo kit available during winter/spring time, I'll rule out Inlinepro and replace it with your kit. 
.
Oh and another thing is. I see that you're in the process of making a 3" exhaust to complement your set up! Please add a resonator on there if you do make these exhaust systems. And to touch it up, have it the same angle as a Greddy Ti-C single 70mm exhaust!
. That would look really sexy. Thanks mase!

Here is what I dont get:
Why is there such complaint about turbo lag and how SC is better for instant torque. Would this not only be true when running from a dig?
Most racing (on highway) is done at a good paced roll. This meaning RPMs are up at least where the turbo is fully spooled....not?

This complaint only comes from people who don't know what the hell they are talking about. The majority of SC kits for the S2000 are centrifugal so no instant torque and with a decently sized turbo there is no noticeable lag.
