lets say you get cams, punch thecylinders out .020 and raise the compression 12.0:1. im assuming those would be the biggest mods hp wise. what would you estimate they're worth in hp?

I am bored with the turbo. Anyone can turbo a car. I would rather hear the engine sounding mean then my turbo whisling so loud you can hear it blocks away. Another thing is with a turbo there are alot more parts. So when something goes wronge it makes it harder to fix alot of the time. I hate opening my hood and seeing so much. Ima just use dohc pistons in a sohc with intake mani. I am going to build a turbo engine and put it in some other time after my n/a is done. I plan to do the 2.4 with srt-4 internals. But I want everything new. I would like to sell my whole car if I could. I am thinking like 2k or 2500. I have 4 neons.

Turbo lag isn't so bad when your runnin' from the cops except if the cop car is the new Dodge HemiCharger. i gota admit since i had the turbo on my car i get alot of looks frompeopleand alot ofexcuses from people i race. i raced a 2006 Eclipse andsmacked his ride up so bad that at the stop lights he told me his 5 speedV6 would have won if I didn't have a "srt4 motor" and that it wasn't a "fair race",he wasn't having it when i told him its a dohc neon 2.0 and he had to point out that he heard turbo spool as well.

i told him "so a stock neon 2.0 would have been a fair race against a 210hpV614.2 second car?" the guy was about to cry or it might have been adreniline but he just said good race and left

Turbos are a notch above nitrous as far as motorpridebut better cuz its the motors wasted energy that makes more energy so its not total cheese. even then i don't mind if God has to miracle my *** as a winner I take them winshow i can get them i don't discriminate.

Then come down and give me a hand with mine. It gives me so many problems. Now I am not getting the gas I need. It cuts out and spuders when boosting. Its going to be to hard to sell. I will just n/a another neon.
