now base neons like the ES, SE, and SXT, stock they are what? 132hp or so? and the r/t is 150hp right? correct me if i am wrong...? my goal is 160-170 WHP.... so far all i have on the motor is a CAI., vibrant dual exhaust, and i will have race MM's very soon as well.... for suspension as it stands now i have a 1.6"-1.8" drop (not sure what the springs are exactly as it was done when i got the car), Vibrant front upper strut tower bar, my car is also equiped with the factory Sway bars... both front and rear... so what is my HP right now and i dont really know what i want to do yet....

I'd trade those springs in for coil-overs... way more horsepower with coil-overs. Also when you on the dyno, take your back seat out and empty the trunk.

dude what the hell are you talking about.....?! first off, coil-overs don't really add HP..... and why would you take the back seat out and empty the trunk when you are on the DYNO weight doesn't have as much of an effect b/c the car isn't actually pulling any weight anywhere, and its not RWD so weight in the rear wouldn't effect the dyno more than 1-3hp anyways... now if you are at the track i could see all of that being done to get a quicker time, but for a dyno pull what the?! sorry i dont mean to flame but bro did you think before you replied?[sm=badbadbad.gif]
