There is no AFX chip. If u got a chip from howell it was a Jet. If u got something that looks like a computer which is plug and play, then it's a pcm.

Freerider: Did u dyno after the installation of the cam 12?

you're doing nitrous??? I got an auto too. havnt done enough to even expect big gains. i just like driving her around. i still have a stock srt4 shifter and 03 MTX ecu sitting in my room that i need to get rid of. started a project and never planned on finishing it. im stickin with my ATX
Just in the 96 neon which also has the hahn stage 2 turbo kit I have more engine mods in her than my sxt which also has too much to remember I get about what a stock srt4 gets for hp about 230 hp in the 96 and 140 out of my sxt.

Yep, I got it dialed in better than it was. I had enough money for 3 dyno pulls, so I adjusted accordingly. Hopefully when I have some more mool-ah I should be getting it fully dialed in. HURRAY for adjustable cam gears.

It's just weird though because everyone thinks my car has atleast 175 h/p. I dont get it, i can beatmy brothers heavily modded 7.5 liter truck. My buddies 3.8 v6 monte carlo, im neck and neck with subaru imprezas (base models), i just raced my buddies 07 chevy cobalt with 153 hp i believe, the car just lunges when i floor it and just keeps going, how is this possible??! lol, and im not one of those guyys who confused sound with speed, the car actually moves quite fast, just sounds really weird when ppl say 123 h/p AT BEST, how is it possible i am waisting all these other cars with way more h/p and torque on 30+ mph punches (of course not off the line)?

Its not about horsepower alone.

Its the amount of weight the horsepower has to push to get going. A lighter car will go much faster with little effort.
