Ok, I hope you're not serious here. Even S2000 owners call the comptech s/c a bust and don't consider it worth the time, money, or maintenance costs.

Let me see if I've got this straight. The dyno graph you posted indicates a peak RWHP of 284 @ 8900 rpms, and peak torque of 172.3 @ 8500 rpms.

Price: $4895 + $200 "core charge" + s/h charges.

Add in another what, $400-$600 for install and tuning, and the grand total comes to $5595-$5795 for a measly 284HP/172.3TQ @ nearly 9000 rpms. What a joke!

I won't even get into the well documented reliability issues with the S2000 s/c kit from Comptech. This just supports my point that the S2000's powerplant has little room for power gains.

The 350Z is a relatively low compression DOHC V6 which makes it an ideal engine for forced induction.... and it's got gobs of torque to boot. A few minor suspension mods for less than $500 and it would rip an S2000 up on any twisty mountain road or track.

Please don't bother posting this nonsense unless you are able to back it up.
