The only thing you can do to your ecu is send it into jet chips they reprogram your chip for better preformance I think there is 3 stages depending on what you have on your car. Stage 1 is non modded cars, stage 2 is lightly modded cars(performance exhaust, cold air intakes, headers etc.) and stage 3 is for heavily modded cars(turbos/superchargers with all listed above). On any performance parts site you will probably find it under performance chips or ecu upgrade kit. It cost about 250-300$, and your ecu gone for a week.

I was just curious as to how much power I could get out of a stage 2 or 3 ECU reprogramming? I'm not looking into it for right away, just for future reference...I have a complete aftermarket exhaust and intake, but not much else really...at least for the moment

Truthfully not much gains unless you have far more mods ...

Howell automotive lists two different ones so I doubt the neon will work
