Depends on what you really want to end up doing with the car. 8psi max stick with a 5 speed but if your gonna build it like crazy spend the money on getting a drag auto because you'll be shifting gears longer than your in them. Stick is all fun and games but auto is where it's at for consistency.

Also depends what tranny you have in your car. Allpar has a chart that shows what all the different Neon trannies are rated for (torque wise). I believe the hydraulic one (from 99-02) is only rated for 135 some ftlbs of torque. And if you plan on using an auto go for the 03+ trannies which shift gears using solenoids(and also have a much higher torque rating). I've seen some sick setup's (not on neons though) where you manually shift the auto with a toggle switch for each gear (which runs the solenoid obviously). I'm not sure exactly how it works but I hear it's alot quicker then waiting for the car to do it itself.

+1 so you need a built trani to handle the built engine.
