ok i got this 98 neon rt in lets say may,and it runs well,came wit tha header exhaust and tha iceman intake,what should i do next to upgrade my performance?i was thinkin about going wit a cam but dont know what size or what quality to go wit any suggestions?

 

The cam would be a good upgrade. It all depends on what you are gonna do with the car and how extreme you want to be. there are 3 main cams for the car, the Crane #10, #12, #14. The 10 is just about stock, the 12 is basicly a street cam, and the 14 is a race cam. If you are going to stay NA I would go with the 12, if you are going turbo use the 14. Really either one would be fine in either application, but the idle is gonna be prettty loppy with the 14.

 

o ok im not tryin to race my **** like that i just want it to run good and have tha ***** to go out there and get down if needed so i think i would go wit tha #12 since its in tha middle of tha upgrade,thanx alot anything else i should look at like tha computer?do they vary too?

 

The Crane #14 is not that bad, I plan on putting it in mine, it will give you more power than the #12. There is a million things you can do. If you are thinking PCM, computer, then I would go with the afx race PCM from howell, Mopar also makes a PCM. Just remember if you plan on going turbo, you are gonna need to keep you stock PCM, any aftermarket PCM will not be good for a turbo. They are too rich and the motor will go BOOM!

 

lol o ok thanx alot and these parts are cheaper online huh,i just called vic hubbard which is a high performance store for muscle cars and us neon cars and they were sayin for tha #12 cams they want 450 im like dayum lol

 

You can get a Crane #12 for about $300.

 

The cam is also like the hardest to install. You have to take the engine out to get to it.

 

You don't have to take the engine out in the least.

You remove the passenger side motor mount, jack the engine up on that side so that the head clears the fender and you ccan slide the cam out.

 

i should say 300 is about right,where from though?

 

well that dont seem to be too hard squee
