Stock auto neon goes low 18's. Stock manual should be in the 17's. Low 16's is pretty good though. You're probably doing around a 12% increase in power.

If you're losing traction or getting any wheel hop, fixing that will make you quicker. Practice helps too with a manual transmission.

As for me, I have an auto so all I can do is floor it. Only thing I can do differently is improve my reaction time, which is around 0.3 seconds. But only so much you can do when you have to wait for the torque converter to let the power kick in.

Indy intake is what a lot of people get. I think the stock TB is 55mm, Airwolf said she has a 60mm on hers.
