Wondering if anyone of you guys were skilled enough to kind of guestimate where you think my car stands right now in horsepower considering all the mods I have done to it. I desperately would like to get my neon down to a dyno shop at one point, but of course I don't drive. Everyone asks me how much horsepower I have, and usually I just tell them 150. They always sayyy whattt?? That's it?! Even after all that **** you put into it?? I just say 150 h/p though just to be safe because i dont want to stretch it and im just being realistic, even tho the car feels like it has 2 be more than that, it just got so much kick! Anyways I have an AEM Cold Air Intake, 60mm Throttle Body (going back to the stock t/b next week), pacesetter header, hi-flow cat, vibrant dual exhaust, transmission cooler, and an AF/x Chip (which needs to be installed, but throw it into the mix if u can!). Considering those modifications, at where do you think I stand in the h/p world?? Im not even close to be doing with doing more mods as much as i like to say i am, but just for now, how much do you think my neon could conceivably be packing??

 

what does that chip do, is it the one off howell?

 

i forgot to mention i havent had it installed yet, so im not sure yet, but id like to know still as if it were added into the modification equation.

 

What Transmission?

Your looking at anywhere between 114-123 whp. Thats going from around 112 whp stock.

P.S. the Computer might do little to nill. Our ECU's are locked and usually cancel out secondary piggyback ecu's. They can't be re-flashed for performance either. Thats all up to chrsyler (in the long run) when and if they will finally let performance companies like JET make an actual re-flash program available.

 

ooh, i was thinking of the af/x ecu..im gettin confused.lol

 

Freerider, what did you mean when you said what transmission? So you think I only gained like 10hp with all those mods i put in? AEM rates the cold air intake at 11hp during its peak alone doesnt it? Also, i have a 2000 dodge neeon, does this mean this year has issues with the ecu chips still?

 

Auto or Manual.

Plus I am talking ACTUAL WHEEL HORSE POWER... not CRANK HORSE POWER... and even then NEVER believe esitmates given by companies. They put the part in a situation that makes it gain the most power.

Hell... I have more than you and I am only at 125 whp. Recently Dyno'd.


If you don't believe me, take it to a dyno.... only real way to know anyway[8D]

 

yes, its so sad to see how much you do and only see like 10 whp..lol..at least im sure you take on other cars pretty well

 

whats better is thats from an AUTO!!! MUWAHAHAHAHA!!! I am getting a nice MTX sometime hopefully. I will see quite a good gain in performance with one of those babies.

 

I would say at least 123 or a little more with a little more mods I would put you at 130 to 135 . Mine is 130 to 140 with all my tons of engine mods I have everything but a turbo and a megasquirt like mickey is workin on or nitrous like my 1st gen has with the turbo.
