f you rev your engine up to 7200 it will blow up. these are neons not hondas
Yeah 7,200 RPM on a stock non-Mag top end = likely death.

The same advice still applies, the only way at the moment to raise the rev limiter is via MS'n'S or some other type of standalone. With the Crane 14 you'll also need to upgrade your Magnum valve springs and install an adjustable camshaft gear. While on the Comp 400 you dont have to do either, and keeps all the additional power withint he stock powerband.

I havent heard any kind of confirmation that Eibach stopped making Neon/SRT-4 springs altogether, but I have heard that rumor. I know MP still sells Eibach springs for the Neon and SRT-4, but they keep an adequate inventory of almost all their products anyways...

gotta love MP.

I can see where that can be true. The neon hasn't been around for a couple years. The market is slowly dieing.

The Air Cooled VW bug hasn't been made in Germany in a couple three decades and it has a following second to none. I'm sure the Neon will hang in there with gas prices going the way they are. I for one went with a SXT partly becasue of gas prices and partly because I CAN get Aftermarket stuff for it. I really can't see the Caliber taking over from the Neon, it's not even in the same league as the Neon.

P.S.
If it sounds like I'm really liking my new '05 SXT you're right.

no shame in really liking the neon I think we all love our neons, with all their quirks and performance or lack of

and I agree about the caliber, it's in a different class as the neon (the ugly hatchback kind of class)

What was dodge thinking!??!?!

and welcome to the world of neon tuning!
