So tell us how it drives then 
stock s2000 = awesome roadster
s2000 + supercharger = scary ricer
Driving it this evening (bit wet here) even in third I wouldn't totally floor it because it feels like it wants to wheel spin when it VTEC's. Accelerating hard from 3k in 3rd to 8kish feels like you are going into warp drive! Theres the VTEC kick at around 5k then another surge from around 7k.
Apart from the exta power the thing I noticed is I can realy feel the weight shift forward when I lift off the gas! I wonder is this the extra power or the extra weight at the front? I was thinking maybe I could put the spare back in the boot to balance it out or is that daft ?

You can feel the weight when steering too. its quite odd as its not a huuuuge amount of weight, its just that its hanging right over the front end.

Bibbs does your car when your press the throttle feel a bit less responsive than it used to even sort of laggy? I am not sure if this is the supercharger or if my throttle cable needs tightenning or something?

Agree with everything said there .. Also found out that the weight on the front means I bottom out on some speed humps (touches the jack points) at compression. I now have to take them at 2mph to now compress less over the hump.
Glad I 've got height adjustable coil overs going on then!
