If that's what you have to tell yourself.

I think I didn't quite explain my two cents....the Honda s2000 is not designed to be a drag car...that's the one i'm trying to convey.
But I do agree, different folks different strokes.

I had a lot of pictures but I can help you build. From the chassis to the electronics and mechanicals & supercharging.
If you are interested, keep my contact and I will help you or if you are near you can test drive it.
.....and believe it or not - only took me 9 wires to fire the engine....9 wires.

It makes a killer drag car. Probably one of the better ones straight from the factory. You'd be amazed how much of my car is still stock.

I'll sure it will hold up like it has.

Keep it limited to high way (3rd gear and up) pulls and the transmission should stay together. I never broke one in 3rd or 4th at 720hp. It was just a weekend/good weather car, I didn't abuse it but I did pulls pretty much whenever I wanted to.

mine broke 4th mid pull on the highway, theres really nothing you can do if you are doing full power pulls at these power levels even in the higher gears, the trans will let go eventually

anyone know if it's ok to start up my car with no fluid in the v160? I want to let the motor run since its bin sitting for a while i will keep my foot on the clutch so the tranny doesn't spin, if you're wondering the case is cracked so it wont hold fluid.
