Anybody know about hopping up a 3.5 litre?

 

Ummm why?

 

a regular 3.5 or a high output 3.5?

 

hey i know this is off topic but i am having a personal problem with a 2.0 sohc 2002 dodge neon. the car is a dog and i cant get it to run fast. the stock hp is supposed to be in the area of 135. i have on it a vibrant dual exhaust, AEM cold air intake, PAcesetter exhaust header, MPx underdrive pulleys, a 60mm polished aluminum throttle body and a crane cam with higher compression valve springs. how much power have i added if anyone could estimate? and also why am i not feeling the large gain i have expected?

 

I don't know too much about the 2.0, but I'm wondering - have you added a computer chip, or is there any kind of tuner available for those cars? It would seem to me that the computer needs to be tweeked in order to take full advantage of all your mods. But then, like I said, I don't know too much about the 2.0. Just a thought, though.

JoeKD custom-builds CAI kits for second generations. I agree with a large number of others, his kit is better than the K&N kit. I have his kit on my H.O. engine.
There are also other mods to do.
Intake spacers, TB spacers, exhaust setups, and even the fancy body kits. http://www.andysautosport.com/
DI.NET members have made a LOT of modifications themselves.

 

Unfortunately not much you can do to the 3.5, ther are a few mods like what scarface presented but nothing that will bring it up to extreme HP without serious mods done by yourself and with money to research these mods because there is hardly anything aftermarket for these engines.
