Default Other good bolt-ons for a DOHC

So I already have a idea with what I'd like to do to my DD neon. Wires, WAI/CAI, 52mm or a 55mm TB, exhaust (i have my own shop so I get the whole walker ehaust system cheap), UPD, and a FM MTX ECU.

What else should I try out? I know others had suggested a set of cams.

not expecting to make more then a mid 15's car our of my dohc mtx.

just seing what else is out there to do.

I got my own lift, airtools, and more. Not looking to do PS and/or AC delete. (coming off a pbody with no AC and heavy steering as a DD this is nice)

Standard Walker exhaust is not mandrel bendt, so I will recomend www.mandrelbendtexhausts.com
They deliver stainless and standard piping in 2.25 and 2.5"
With your mods, I would stick to the 2.25 tubing.

I can't lower it. The potholes and everything around my area in PA SUCK. (i'm right near rte 30 and 222 if that gives you any idea). Im not looking to go CRAZY. Just a nice quick city driver. Cams would be nice.

Didn't even think about it til now...a bobble strut I guess would be nice

OH and I see ohioguru, that you got 68 RR. My and my gramps got one too!

Since when did cams become bolt ons? lol. I cant say this enough turbo that son of a gun! I boosted to many neons for about $1000. Not only do you get better MPG when just driving commute. But you will also rip that stock srt-4 a new one on the way there.
Srt-4 turbo fold, 02+ neon downpipe, Begi RRFPR, srt-4 injectors, MSD timing retard boost controller, walboro 255 with a return line setup, missing link, wideband, some misc hoses and fittings, ebay intercooler and done. Did you guys know that older turbo dodges came turbo with cast pistons and no intercoolers running about 7psi, same size turbo as srt-4 but way more restricted flow? Same motor with an intercooler run about 11-12psi stock. Seen these motors do 20+ psi with cast pistons. When in doubt, whip your turbo out.

Built the turbo setup for $1000 on this one.

Hmmm id consider a turboing it out down the road...when I get another DD. I want a 2.5l Pbody. But I know it would need a nice rebuild. Leaks a bit. Its putting oil spots where I park. Not like Im losing anything,,just one of those things that would need taken care of first. I actually should get around to doing the gear oil...or at least check it. Cam..and bolt on? yea WTF what I thinking.

I did see a sweet TB spacer tho...

hahahah
