I'd definitely start with suspension, and go for there. Like stated above, the S2K is now drive by wire instead of throttle cable, and has a traction control system. I'd drive the car with the stock engine for a while, and figure out your goals and spending limits before you decide what route to go with the engine.

your window sticker means jack. SAE knows it should be using WHP numbers, why dont they already?

your honda's 240 most likely puts down 215 or so but thats alot better than a some cars who say they have 270 when only 220 gets to the wheels.

Welcome to the club.

I'm going with the i/e/h + gears, enough push to give a good kick.

i dont think i could take the sound of hearing an engine rev so high in 6th... too bad it isnt easier swapping out a single gear in the transmission (IE shortening the final drive but lengthen the 6th gear)
