Doesn't the S2000 have a really high compression ratio stock?

Wouldn't that mean having a power adder w/o lowering compression will blow up the motor? I noticed the ad says this, "COMPTECH SPORT Supercharger, bolt on, no engine modifications. $4989"

If he didn't mod the motor (lower compression) I'd suspect this is a timebomb right?

Pretty much, they run somewhere around 11.1:1 compression.

11:1 compression. either comptech or vortech kits are pretty much plug and play. not much to worry about, unless your dave22 and you gotta keep a couple belts in the trunk
