Default Mods while motor is taken apart?

Only one I could think of was new gaskets so cooling is more efficient. CAI is easy even with the motor in..
Can you think of anything else? Cams maybe? but then that would require tuning right?

I remember Spoon makes thinner gasket which raises 0.2 in CR.

Yeah...

And the S2000's engine is already maxed out from the factory

Cams can make some decent power, especially if you bump up the horsepower.

You could go head gasket, valve springs, and retainers.

What valve springs and retainers would you use?
what about valves? standard size, or oversized?
crower cams stage 3 or skunk2 pro+2?
I am moving to J's JDM pistons...

Iam in the same boat but I am also picking up a aem ems and looking at some good dyno time to get all the things worked out
