sounds like a good plan to me...

If you got an extra $1000 (modern bottom end kit) strengthen the bottom end while your at it.

bottom end as in crank shaft and connecting rods?

I can see the connecting rods, but I heard the crank is good up to 500 WHP or was it just HP? idk, but either way. I wont be making that anytime soon

Low CR pistons and forged connecting rods.

thanks. I have a long way to go. as for now, I have to live with a stock toyota celica GTS being able to eat me alive....

I will be doing the TB and RT intake and Comp 200 cam soon (hopefully) to gain some HP

then the MTX swap, turbo and MS. them stage up the turbo. or would it just be better to drop the SRT-4 engine into it?

DO NOT GET BOLT ONS for this car if you're an atx. take it from me. i have a lot of them and i'm still slow as ****. i should've just gone straight to turbo.

-TTI LTH
-Mpx 60MM TB
-Vibrant Ultra High Flow Catalytic convertor
-Cold Air Intake
-Race Motor Mount Inserts
-Transmission Mount Inserts
-Transmission cooler
-SRT-Rear Section

and i'm still slow as ****...for real. i've been *** whooped by ever car i've raced. i'm afraid to race a kia, i'm sure i'll lose.

Just please. Stop. Modding. You're not going to get the results you want out of this car.

the bold text means they will do nothing for performance

as for the other mods: I will do the R/T intake, 60mm tb and cam (turbo support mods as I see them). then to ms and turbo.

I'll agree that the rear section won't do much, but if you think the inserts don't do anything you're mistaken. I'm not saying it's a huge stupid diffence like people claim they get from something as simple as a K&N Filter, but ask anyone and you'll get your answer.

I highly doubt you're going to fall through with all those parts anyway. You sound like every other guy that has a neon for the first time.
