944S2 How much HP?
How much HP can you get out of a slightly modified S2. I know this is an a really open ended question. Lets say keep the mods to bolt ons and no internal engine mods. Example, Headers, Exahust, Chip, No Cat.
Say that would make 250hp? (Just a guess porbably totaly wrong) How would this seam compaired to a 951? Would you have a lot more low end torque?

Each of the things you mentioned will get you a few HP here and there but there's no way you'll get to 250 HP.
Here are some S2 dyno results, both stock and modified:

Currently my car is with Speed Force Racing in Southern California. SFR is increasing the boost to 8psi, installing larger valves, and converting my MAF system to a MAP system. I live near Chevy's on the River just north of downtown. As soon as my car is done I'll let you know and we can take it out for a drive.

I used to think about doing something too but not having anyone qualified (not anymore) to work on it and not wanting to take chances on anything breaking down, I did the thing that made sense to me: bought myself a 98 3000GT VR4 a few years ago, LOL... Take a look at the pics of both (the cabrio is turning into a true hi-fi ride as we speak of being heavily modified in audio part at a local shop...)

Sweet looking car and sound system. As soon as I am satisfied with the performance of my S2 I will begin the cars cosmetics upgrades and stereo system. I currently have the Blaupunkt Munchen RDM 169 deck, 3 Blaupunkt PA275 class T amps, 2 Blaupunkt PCwi1000 10" woofers, and 4 PCxi462 4"x6" speakers in my house waiting to be installed.

If you ever really want to upgrade, I have the deck and changer from the pics available (the deck is Blaupunkt San Francisco and Blaupunkt in dash 5 CD)
(I switched to Pioneer HU and CD changer). You can check mine out when it is all done (6,4 and 2 sets of tweeters up front and 8 and 4 in the rear side panels plust 2 12s...)
