You're gonna need more then that for high 11s, low 12s. A lot more. Port and polish, increased compression since you're stickin with all motor. And I don't think you can reprogram you pcm. You'll probably need a first gen dohc pcm, and i"m not sure how that would work with 2nd gen components (i.e. all the various sensors). What you have would more than likely get you low 14s, maybe high 13s if you get everything running great and can drive.

Look into MSD ignition box as well and the the accel spark plugs will become less important. Also know that they are just rebranded DENSO (Formorely NipponDENSO). With an MSD ignition box you sprak profile will be compter controlled more accurately and then regular plugs will yield high arc over voltage and the ignition ECU will the alter ther rest for proper complete ignition. The best.

As far as going that fast you need to rebuild the motor. Add compression and a thorough head porting will be required.

Best wishes.

I doubt your going to get to the 11-12 sec range. I think there was a 450 hp SRT-4 doing around the 11's (if I remember correctly). U wont get close to that amount of power. I doubt u will even be half that.

As far as your mods, I didn't see an upgraded exhaust system (of course u need one if u don't have one).
What cam are u getting?

Thats gonna be a tall order for a all-motor 2.0. You are gonna need alot more mods than whats listed as been said. You will also need to build your ATX.

ORIGINAL: spinxracer
-dohc cylinder with new valve train components
did you mean dohc cylinder head? or you referring to dohc pistons?
-crane cam
-crane cam gears
cam, and cam gears? if you got one cam, you only need one gear but if you are dohc a dohc conversion then yeah youlld need a pair of cams and cam gears.
-unorthodox underdrive pulleys
you only need one pulley
-indy intake manifold
personally i would skip out on the INDY.. as its pretty expensive and not a very good intake manifold really. a custom box-style manifold would be much better.
-obx header
no matter if you plan on the dohc coversion or are staying sohc, i would recommend a long tube header instead. the obx header is a shorttube.. and will just be limiting yourself on power output.
-Ground System
waste of $$ imho. i doubt the neon would see ANY gains by a ground system. until i see a true dyno plot that does show marginal gains.. then ill start thinkin about somethin like that.
-and im taking my ecu in to get it reprogramed
by who? what year is your neon? if its a 2000-2002 why not just look into getting an afx race ecu from Howell Automotive? because if you are thinking about getting it reprogrammed by JET.. think again. its a huge waste of $$, they dont change near enough in the ecu to make a good difference. if its a 2003-2005.. your only choice pretty much at that point, is a standalone.
is there anything you think im missing im kind of lost on what i should do to my fueldelivery system and i want to no if they make and overbore stoker kit for my motor. im trying to get my time to a high 11 of low 12 without using nos or turbocharging
11-12 sec quarter mile times in an all motor neon is gonna need a LOT of work. your best bet to get there would be to put in a 2.4, and have it doing over 200whp (read, lots of mods, lots of $$ spent)
youll also need stuff like axles, LSD, and slicks.. and some weight reduction wouldnt hurt either.

thanks for the advice for those who did give, and for the person that ask what year model car i got its a 2005. but the question that didnt get answered was do they make a stroker kit for my motor and how much bore is it. my exhaust system has already been moded. and what kind of fuel system should i use. its going to be kind of hard to find a 2.4 liter. yeah and for the person that said a srt cant run an 11 or a 12. i stay in louisiana and we have a track out there by the name of gillam. its a srt out there runing a high 10 and a low 11. but he does have a stage 3 turbo from mopar

An srt-4 can run 10's but thats pretty close to the best that has been seen. There was one 9 second srt-4, but we won't go there.
