Should I put a K into my S2000?

This is bad karma hijacking Campbells thread selling the SE secret engines that only a select few have seen/driven/raced, Graeme / Dom, will PM you but realistically I am only getting 4 a year done with other commitments. If you can source the Honda parts to mate to the K yourself we could see what we could do before summer.

Campbell the commitment at the facility still stands.

Sanjoy, I'm willing to test your new engines to confirm its stronger than a traditional porous k series.

0-60 is around 3 seconds. Don't think it's ever been on the rollers though...
