Longtube header, camshaft, Intake Manifold, Magnum head swap, port and polish of the cylinder head and intake manifold after swap, motor mounts, 60mm throttle body, lowering springs, struts, front and rear sway bars, front and rear tower strut bars, and MTX swap with the R/T 3.94 transmission...just to name a few things.

From what ive read and searched, the cam shaft is one of the best things you can do to your motor. Youll want to make sure that you have enough air and fuel to move around in your motor in order toget the most out of a cam. Remember, its best to get parts that "compliment" each other. Meaning if you get a cai, youll want to do something about your exhaust. Its alot about airflow and fuel. You can pick up a mag cam and head and swap it on. Then pick up a atx throttle body. Some sort of header and youll be well on your way. Just remember that many neons will never be "fast"(not that some arent), theyll just be quicker than they were before.

Scope out my garage on 2gn.org. The link is in my sig. Notice on the right hand side the"total spent". I have some other parts but thatsmy setup and its not done yet. Ive got about a $1000 worth of parts left to buy. And from the sounds of things, ill be lucky to see 150-160 whp. You might be better off to consider a srt turbo setup. I decided not to go turbo or nitrousfor personal preference. Just something to think about. good luck with your project!!!!
