Lol, single answer. I have the need for speed. I love it. I find somewhere where there is no pigs and run with it like a stole it.

Who doesn't want to go fast?

Needless to say I am NOT careless about it, I'm actually cautious and choosy about the roads and everything. I've been taught by my dad who used to race cars (legally as far as I know and he sometimes lines up on the street) so I know the ropes but I'm nowhere near his expertise and experience. so there's my answer on why.

If u get a reprogrammed computer it should eliminate the top speed limiter. With a reprogrammed computer, u just have to have the power to get past 120. I haven't tried to pass 120 mph with my AFX Race computer but I might try one day. It's not like i can get up there and down to a normal speed in a small stretch.

It depends what year Neon u have. The AFX computers are out for the 2000-02 Neons as well as the older Neons. There is a Street version at $375 plus 150 dollar core charge and there is the AFX Race Computer which is $390 plus 150 core charge. It's very expensive. If I were a first Gen Neon, I'd just get the Mopar Pcm which is around 250 and I think that's without a core charge.
www.modernperformance.com has the Mopar pcms for the first Gen Neons.
www.howellautomotive.com has the AFX computers

I did some digging and i cant find anything about reprograming em, sorry about that. All i can think of is to buy a racing ECM, pricy but its gonna work. Try askin a local shop and see if they know anything about it.
