Got a 2001 S2000 in october and love it. Savin up for some mods at the moment. What are some things I can do to get a significant power increase? Price isn't too important.

Congratulations Killa (We've got a few too many "S2" titles on site. 'Hope you don' mind "Killa") n' best of luck with your new ride.
I know that you're lookin' for "a significant power increase", but could I interest you in simply becomin' much faster n' adept at the use of your new toy?
Spend alodda time in the cockpit gettin' to learn the vehicle, and your, limits. A few bouts with the local SCCA meets autoXin' the li'l bugger'll gain you alodda ability in becomin' more efficient at extractin' every possible ounce of ability out'a the car.
Later on, after you've spent time n' become fluent in S2000 . . if you still feel the need to modify, you, yourself will have a good idea what areas that could use improvement to suit your drivin' style.
Price may not be that important, but, askin' a bunch'a strangers how to modify your ride sure's hell sounds like a formula for @*#&in' up a perfectly good sports car ta me.
Spend the cash on entry fees n' when the time comes, call yerrown shots.
Be well.

Well you would need to define 'significant'. If 'significant' means more that 20WHP you have only two option really: supercharger or turbo. If 'significant' means less than 5-20WHP, there are many option that will take many pages to discuss. There isn't a lot more you can get out of this engine in NA form as it is already wound pretty tight.
