You have different tensioners and chain lengths. Not sure if they are inter-changeable. I would check to make sure.
Its not just plug n play. Unless you have variocam, you will not be able to take advantage of the variocam cams. You cannot install a variocam tensioner on an s2 head. Your best bet would be to swap heads, harness and computers. At that point, you still have a barn door style air flow meter, which would be a restriction.
No free lunch in this case.
