Magnum springs from the dealer are pretty reasonable....about $50-$60 if I remember correctly.

My ACR is stock except for the new CNNP Race Ported head I just swapped onto it (has the magnum springs in there as well). My idler pulley failed, snapped and shredded my timing belt and belt some valves, so I put the head on there.

Sounds fun to drive das2123.

Also sounds like you know Neons.
I've found this->
Magnum Valves:
intake, 7 bucks a pc.
exhaust, 10 bucks a Pc.
Mag Cam; $222

TheMagnum motor has bigger valves than my 97 SOHC
I see the words " plug and play" is this true for swap'n valves after a little bore ?

I just ordered the magnum valve springs... 16 of them
Now this valve mith has me thinking. Are my valves bad ?
Don't care if they are bad, if I can get more HP out of bigger valves sweet.

Well considering they are both SOHC, I would think you could swap them in. But I don't know anyone that has taken that route.

It's time for a camshaft.

No valve jobs...
I have seen the COMP Cams and I'm not sure if I can use the one for the RT.

After reading this post as a reminder, I remembered that the R/T cam looked good! (It's been awhile!)

So I guess the 2001 R/T camshaft is the BEST choice for a 97 SOHC? I think this is a drop in too ?
And I need new springs ? (The ones I ordered never came, I could have sent Chuck Noris to the bank over this stupid daily limit rule.)

I will be orderinga camshaft with in the next week or so.

ANY feedback is welcome !!!

Yeah,
I think it is the Magnum motor.

This was dug up from the grave. Things happened a put a pause on my project...
But, there are any more cars out there that need to be out ran by a Neon Haahahahahahaaa

So as of now I plan on getting a 01 R/T Magnum Camshaft for my 97 SOHC

To answer your question yes the 01 - 02 RT cam is the magnum cam... its slightly hotter of a cam then the 95... 6-10hp gain from your stock cam... Depending on your current air flow mods...

So whats the best Cam for the 97 SOHC w/ high flow intake and exhaust ? (header, CIA, catback.. )

The COMP cam offers 12-14 HP at wheels, but is says for R/T or ported heads...
