More horsepower
Ok. I am not all that knowledgable when it comes to working on vehicles. I have a 2001 neon and would like to see if there is a way to increase horsepower. Some people have told me about a "computer chip" or something but I have no idea. I am not rich and I am not wanting to create a huge project but I just thought there may be some part or some component out there that I could put to use. Any replies would be helpful. I would like to start working on my car more. I have modified it to the limit expect for the engine compartment. Thanks. Any mods you can think of let me know too. I uploaded new pictures today in my gallery if you would like to see what I am working with.

RE: More horsepower
The only thing you can do as far as chip for the car is to get a performace PCM. The stock PCm is not programable. Those "chips" that they sell on ebay are garbage and do nothing. A performance PCM is gonna run you about $300. There are many other things that you can do that do not require much knowledge like a cold air intake, motor mounts, an exhuast header, high flow cat, performance exhuast. those are a good place to start. There are many performance parts out there for the neon. Take a look at modernperformance.com and howellautomotive.com, that will give you a good idea what is out there. After you figure out what you want try the dodge forum sponsers, they should give you a better deal.

Whats a cold air intake ???? Where can I get it and what do I say to the parts guy? "I need a cold air intake for a 2001 neon?" Honestly. Thanks

for intros, you can get a cold air intake, with a good filter. also, putting better exhaust such as a header and high flow cat will help.

RE: More horsepower
Yeah just ask for a cold air intake. Iceman and AEM are the only good ones that I have heard of. Stay away form anything that says short ram. And you may find something used cheaper, but any of the ebay $20 cai are garbage. I paid $200 for my iceman and for what it is its a rip-off, but for the performance it gives you its worth it.

If you make changes to the exhaust, you may want to consider a new throttlebody as well. They work together and will allow max. gains with other mods.
