what exactly IS vr4 power? and what does it have to do with S2000s?
No offense, but dollar for dollar a built Camaro is going to hand you your ass in an S2000 in the quarter mile. Have you ever been to a quarter mile track and seen what these cars are capable of?

I'm smelling troll. Lock k thx.

No i can spend $6000 thats just kit but about $1000 for instalation thats what i plan but camaro no chance because i hate them thats why i bought s2000 so i can show them what is vr4 power
Two drag launchs and the stock unit is toast so add an exedy clutch/flywheel for about $1600 installed and then your rearend will blow your first run after that so lets say $1000 will fix that and once that's stronger you will start breaking half shafts so maybe we can get those for about 250 a piece and then... By this time you should start to figure out this car is not made for drag racing so you'll quit trying to make it something it is not. Then you'll go to a racetrack (ya know, a real one with turns) and enjoy what this car is really about.

Ok it comes down to speed or reliability. You have more potential to go faster with a Turbo, but its not as relaible as supercharger..... you will also spend more in the hunt for more HP with a turbo.... more money on parts and also more money on TUNING!!!!!..... i have a supercharger Its fun... i read through alot of posts to make my decision.... it came down to reliability.. good luck with your "HUNT FOR MORE HP"

a properly tuned turbo on an S2000 will be just as reliable as a supercharger. unfortunately you can only get so much hp with a supercharger before your belt would start to slip and you'd run into other problems.

in the long run, if you want a LOT of power, turbo is the way to go. it's cheaper to go the supercharger route. there's tons of pros and cons for each, it all comes down to personal preference.

A properly set up Vortech will put out close to 500 hp. How much do you want?

got any proof of this? to my knowledge, no one has boosted over roughly 15-17psi on a supercharger.
