Neon Performance Parts Review
2nd Gen Parts Information and Reviews

?

 

It will start off with the basics like the format above and a picture or two per mod...then once we get the easy bolt-on performance stuff on we can go to visual mods, engine mods, and things like that. Trust me, I dont want this one to go to hell either...

So far the list will have: CAI, UDP, STS, 60mm TB, Strut Bars, Lowering Springs, MM Inserts, Booger Bushings, Cross-Drilled/Slotted Rotors w/ Ceramic Pads, and spark plug wires.

 

i like it, it would lower the amount of questions that everyone always asks about wat mods give you more power and so on.....

 

I don't know what we should do about exhaust systems... so many. Here is my vibrant review

i like it alot, it tells me everything i need to know...

 

Its been created and locked, now i just need more reviews...i figured posting each review and pictures in its own post would help reduce clutter and allow it to be more "user friendly".

 

can you do a review of the comp 400 camshaft andany brand ofadjustable cam gear that would be cool. By the way that info you told me worked and my CEL went off and stayed off thanks.

 

Modification: Ignition Coil
Manufacturers: MSD, Screamin Demon.
Price Range: $74.95-$80
Where to Buy: ModernPerformance.com, HowellAutomotive.Com, Ebay.com.
Difficulty of Installation (1 as easiest 10 as most difficult): 1
Time For Installation: 10 minutes - 20 minutes
Expected Gains (in WHP): N/A
Explanation of Mod: The Stock OEM ignition coil is a good ignition coil up until you get into needing better fuel and ignition delivery. By getting a better ingition coil, you will give your spark plugs a hotter spark.

 

I haven't any experience with the comp 400

but...

I will review a Crane Cam #0012, valve springs, AEM Cam Gear, and PaceSetter header after my spring break
