I wouldn't doubt that if you sold all the J's stuff and kept the AEM EMS with a good tuner, you'll get the same HP.

a good honda tuner will make all the difference in the world. Any before and after dyno graphs of gains? same dyno each time? I would say there is an easy 10hp to be claimed yet.

sorry, i'll say it...most of the JDM performance stuff is BS. Especially for the price.

EDIT: Ok...not BS, but I don't get the love affair with all things JDM. I love my S2000, but if I spend money on performance parts I dont care where they come from I just want the most HP for my money.

Dont get me wrong i like the j's stuff i know all about the bling and function. if i wanted a super fast car, i would not have bought a s2000 to start with.
Keep in mind this is not a hard core racer, i want a all around bad ass car
looks and function.I already have a race car i dont need another.
It looks like i'll be making a church appt..BTW dose he still have the dyno pack?
I heard thats why the dyno #'s are so high.

Sell the parts, keep the AEM, purchase a SC, go to a Honda specific tuner...and call it a day.
