Good luck. ya me too, thus why i enjoy working on them, Slowassneon has 166whp and im almost right behind him with mods after all this i install… (his only problem is major wheel hop and traction, also running street tires) he has a log style intake manifold which helps a little more… I’ve seen neons on a neon forum break 13’s with 160whp with a good tune and good traction… Its possible… just need to do away with the wheel hop problems stock bottom end… now if i were to park the car and rebuild the bottom end… i’d be spraying it with a 75 shot… EASY 13’s ---

Looks pretty cool … Im not HUGE into neons … But … I will give credit were credit is due for sure. People that built them (that look nice, clean, and no ricey … like yourself and Greg(2.4 neon) … I think that thats awesome. Some people may not think its cool to build a 7,000 lb. diesel truck … but … I could care less … Diesels are what I know … and what I like. To each his own. On the other hand … On that header … you MAY have clearance issues. Im not a neon guru by any means … but Greg (2.4neon) was running Howell Automotives long tube header … and ran into MAJOR clearence issues with how the tube itself was bent. It had VERY little to NO ground clearence at all. It was crazy how it was setup … tryed re-bending it … but still no luck. Just throwing it out there for you. On the other hand … good luck with everything man ---

Black SS said it right putting a 13 second car in the 11’s is sick and owning a lt1 fbody alone is cool. But to each his own. Making cars that aren’t meant to be fast definetly has an appeal. I think it has lost alot of the appeal that it had 5-7 years ago when the knowledge that any car could be made fast was far less widespread. I remember back then most of the hilljacks in armstrong county with a 5.0 an alphabet cam and flowmasters thought they owned a top fuel funny car. It was quite interesting riding around with darkstar in some of his hopped up 4 cylinders and beating these redneck drag cars. These guys had it in their heads that their mighty v8 could never be beaten by a lowly 4 cylinder and watching them eat crow after they got beat. Now however I think alot of the hopped up econo car draw has gone away. I think most people with any concept of cars and that have ever been to the strip have seen a honda doing 11s or better, and seen a supra go 10s or better, or seen a dsm in the 10s. Alot more people know that you can make any car fast and there is alot less of the surprise and humiliation factor that you give someone when you beat their camaro with an econo car.
