We shall see. For now I want N/A, I will build a good setup in about 2-4 years when I want to be FI. Iv had more cars FI than N/A it's time to do what I can N/A.

As for now it looks like the Neo along with an exhaust and intake will bring me what I want.

TI retainers Have been said to last for about 25-35K and then need to be replaced. I have Ap2 Retainers on my car now. I wills tart with the neo and intake and exhaust, then maybe move to cams, all depends.

Address other variables too, light weight wheels, weight reduction, etc.

Good luck. Hopefully it will be money well spent on whatever you choose to do.

Thanks. Yes the wideband, Neo, + exhaust and intake should be a great combo.

I call shenanigans on it being hard to gain 25whp staying NA over stock... With a badly designed (for power at least) exhaust invidia q300, test pipe, Fast Forward header, K&N FIPK intake and tuned on greddy emanage blue i gained 20whp over stock. I have different parts now, but with a good single/dual 70mm or 75mm and a different intake you should get around 25whp over stock and the torque that your asking for. I agree with the rest of the pople that with a little more money you can have a lot more power... but i love NA as well and see what your talking about. Its YOUR car do what YOU want with it, but you can gain the numbers your asking for without spending crazy money on it. Id suggest that you dont do cams, no positive feedback on a lot of them. So, cold air intake, proven header (in my case FF), test pipe, 70mm or so free flowing exhaust (such as greddy Ti C single, T1r 70EM...), and a tune (ask around for a good tuner) and youll get what your asking for. Dont forget power isnt everything, there is a lot more to this and every other car then just power. Thought id share my thoughts.

Adding 25 horsepower to an otherwise stock S2K is pretty much the same thing as adding 10-12 horsepower AND dropping the weight 150 pounds. Maybe try that plan of attack instead. A 2700 lb S with 4.44 or 4.77 gearing would be just what you're looking for I think. Just food for thought...
