Default SOHC worth Performing??

how many of you have the SOHC??

are they really worth putting money into??

its seems liek i get stomped by everything

i have id say all the bolt on that can go on but theres really nothing else that can be done is there??
headers
exhaust
hot air intake lol still gotta make the 3.0

beside the pcm which only adds like 5-10 hp and lowers your fuel economy which for some reason i have a big enouph problem with

the faster you the more gas you use right??
becuz when im in my car its usaully petal to the metal is this bad for fuel economy i imagine that it is

so should i just stop with the mods on the SOHC any owners of this recommend it or are they just your daily driver??

keep modding it! SOHC FTW! the SOHC is a good modder, but it cant be modded as much (aka get as much HP) as the DOHC, least not without a LOT of money. but i know of several people who modded them have their HP well into the 300's. heck when my green Neon's SOHC gives out, i'm gonna do a performance rebuild on that one and that should get me around 200WHP.

There are plenty of other bolt ons that u don't have.
The SOHC can be a powerful car depending how much money u put into the car.
Check this sohc out.

Sometimes I wish I would have saved up for another car like an SRT-4. The whole modding process is fun though.
