MTX= Manual Tranny

ATX= Auto Tranny

To be honest with you buddy if you have an auto you have a long road ahead of you in the speed department. If you have the money I would do a manual conversion because the auto Neon stock is a gutless little piece. Or trade it for a manual. The biggest down side to the auto tranny is that its a 3 speed. The manual 5 speed owns all cars in its class because you can get more power out of every gear. The auto has that same power, but you dont have the abillity to decide how many rpms you want and that is a huge downside. If you have an auto do a tranny swap or dump it and get a manual.

Now however if you do have a manual your all set, you have the perfect tuner. A good place that I would start would be get a CAI, exhaust, and new mounts as a start. After that move on to suspension before you really get into having a fully built motor.

Have fun and welcome to DF.
