05 s2k FIRST MOD?
What modification will give me the best performance gains? I heard only good things about gears, If i do get gears which ones would be best for 1/4 mile times? How much should they knock off the quarter?? What in your opinion should be my first mod ? Intake? / Exhaust? / Gears? I can only do one mod for for this year, what shall it be? Please tell me the best brand name in your opinion because im new to imports and dont know too much about them? ANY posts are appreciated, THANK YOU.

A supercharger is well beyond the price range of the choices you stated (several thousand bucks).
As a side note: A Comptech kit installed by an authorized Comptech Honda dealer will not void your warranty ....................... well, kind of. The dealer will look after you should something go wrong. They more or less (in conjunction with Comptech) continue to honor the terms of the warranty based on the condition that you don't modify the supercharger kit in any way on your own. ie, if you put on a smaller pulley, bigger injectors, stand alone ECU, you are on your own.

The reason why us AP1 owners opted for shorter final drive gears was because with our cars it was very difficult to launch the car without either bogging down or burning the clutch. I've got 4.44 gears and really like them, but the downside is more buzziness on the freeway and more gear noise if you go with the 4.57 Richmond gears.
Honda addressed those problems with the AP2 cars by shortening the transmission ratios in 1st through 5th gears (keeping 6th the same for highway comfort) and adding the extra torque of the 2.2L. So, it's not as necessary to do gears with the AP2 cars. You can still do it, but it won't make as dramatic of a difference as on the AP1's.

Wow - I didn't know that about the Comptech installed at a dealer. Would IK24 sparks and a tuned VAFC constitute as tuning the engine further?
And what's the buzziness you speak of from the 4.44?

I think he was referring to extra noise and whininess of the 4.57s. I have the 4.44s and they are as quiet and as normal runnin as the stock gears.
