I don't think the tune is the issue...I started a thread on this forum to solicit some feedback from other Evo owners and so far most people think the numbers are good. My wife and I were simply surprised by the numbers as compared to what the DLL was stating. Alain's DLL numbers were very close to what Reese's dynojet numbers were, so we expected ours to be similar.

Anyways, we aren't sweating 20-30hp. That is small potatoes. We are more interested in 100hp gains, and that will be achieved with an aftermarket turbo kit.

We made ~374 according to the DLL, and with Alain making about the same on Reese's dyno as compared to the DLL we were expecting the same. So, we left a little disappointed. What is encouraging is that fact that I ran a 7.8 in the 1/8 with this power.

hehe, yea, a few people were a lil' dissapointed i think. especially the 2wd guys. To make yall feel a lil' better i guess i could have thrown my OZ up there. lmao. But thatll have to wait till another day, still tryij to save for the turbo. still wont throw up the numbers yall do, but itll be better than having the same HP as a moded motercycle. Till that day, "I just watch..."

I think the S2000 is a great all around car. In stock form it doesn't have that much power, but it is very nimble and handles like it is on rails. I wouldn't mess around with the CR--I don't think it is worth the extra money.

Very impressive! There have been people on this forum who have made about 500awhp with the FP Green, "usual" supporting mods, and race gas.

Lmao, funny, i just got finished doin' the last coat on mine w/ the flat black too. I have to wait till tomarrow to do my b-pillers because i cant find my darn socet set. Think i left it at work... I like the headliner idea, either im goin to do the same or re-cover it. I get everthing at cost over at UFO upolstery, but how does the headliner lookk in person Alan?

looks good, if thats the same vinyl/fabric paint im thinking of, it holds up well with time too

one tip tho, leave it out to dry for at least a week (in the sun when possible) or you will be getting high on fumes every time you come back to your car. it took roughly 2 months before the fumes in mine went away & even then it has made a small, but permanent change in the smell of my car . this is with 3 days of drying time & using a heat gun

The head liner looks the same but black...and also, the headliner is one piece, not like your conventional (i am peeling off 1990s astrovan) liner
