I for one give you a for the switch, and there is no way in hell that 350 was putting down 300hp. My friends dynoed @240 stock.

 

So Insomniak

How would your old S fair up to your new ride now(Z28 Ls1)?

 

BTW, you've got a ringer 00 Z28 to dyno @324 with just exhaust.

 

Well Insomniak, you're the first S2000 owner I know who's gone LS1. I went LS1 to S2000. My '00 SS had 385hp and was a 12.67 1/4-miler but in truth, just wasn't much fun to drive unless I was racing it. Damn thing had so much torque it might as well have been an automatic because I could tool around all day in 3rd gear. It was rare that anyone would even bother to race me (up here anyways, not a big tuner community) so I often went weeks without even pushing it unless I did it solo for grins.
Weird though, even though the car was very evil looking (black wheels, black paint, etc), it rarely turned heads. Sold it for the S2000 down payment.
I must admit though that I do like the new Cobras...too bad Chevy bailed before they counter-punched.

 

Different strokes for different folks

 

thanks man.. thats what i've been told.. car runs strong.. my friend w/ a convertible SS putting down 367rwhp.. z06 cam, lid, hooker headers, and cutout.. good low 12 car.. raced from a roll he only got 1 1/2 on me.. i think cause my car weighs alot less.. z28 t-top only optionsare a/c and radio.

as fas as how it would do vs my old s2k.. i don't know haven't been able to get any of the s2k guys to race

 

Insomniak,

I had an 02 Z28 before selling it for the S2000.

If you haven't done it already I HIGHLY recommend you get a Direct-Flo airlid for your intake and either a Holley Powershot or K&N filter to go with it. This coupled with your exhaust will wield another jolt of horsepower. You will definitely notice it the moment you put it on.

After that consider putting the Hotchkis LCA's, Panhard Rod, and STB on the car. Just the LCA's and Panhard alone made my rear end hook up SOOOO much better than stock. No more peeling out at the lights...just traction and GO power.

MTI installed the LCA's and Panhard Rod along with my Corsa exhaust and they did an awesome job. I'm sure I could have found a less expensive place to do the work but I had no doubt they knew what they were doing. Oh and yes your numbers are REALLY good for an 00 model considering you don't have the LS6 intake manifold like the 01's and 02's. Sounds like you may have picked yourself up a factory freak.

 

flywheel isn't even a horsepower gaining mod...exhaust and intake will NOT make 60hp on that car...he's full of shit and isn't worth your time...tell him that next time you see him

 

thanks guys.. yeah i'm happy w/ the z28.. i would of kept the s2k if i could of afforded to keep fixing it.. but i was drained.. had to get into something cheaper.. and w/ cheaper payments, cheaper mods, more power, and more straight line potential which i enjoy.. i don't think i made a bad choice.. i would like to run a s2k just to see the difference.

 

As always u know i'm up for a friendly freeway challenge.
