Default Tunning Advice Please

I've got a '03 neon 2.0L SOHC. I've started building it a little, ive done some head work, put a cam in it. Now I need to some tunning. Can anyone recommend a programmer or sombody I can send the PCM to, and have it flashed? I was looking at a controller from JET, but idk how much i can change with that or if its more of a data logger. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Megasquirt. You can't reprogram a Neon PCM and flash-tuners and controllers/chips do not work on these cars, even though everyone sells them.

Only chip worth lookin into is jet . I know some that like it in there neons and works nicely. I can find a jet chip for like 100 bucks to 150bucks not much if you know where to look . I would go to other forums and cardomain and ask around to see what everyone has done to there neon . Only two guys on here have nicely done engine mods like dts neon and neon of 19s both have turbos.

It MAY work in 2000-2002 Neon's, but the NGC in the 2003-2005 cars WILL override it. Both of them, IIRC, have Megasquirt too; not a chip.

Of course they are. I'm still waiting for dyno slips...

If you want tuning, get something you can tune with --> Megasquirt.
If you want plug-n-play, get a chip.

Yeah I mean what you guys are talkin about is little engine stuff if you really want more than a chip or megasquirt than look into doing a turbo setup maybe not the nitrous with the turbo . Cause a turbo setup alone is all what you need. Just ask dt or neon on 19s they are very happy with there turbo setups.
