Ah no prob ... you can do whatever you'd like ... I was just letting you know I didn't think it was the best idea. Sometimes things seem a lot better until we think about them alittle ... switching lanes like that is definately one of those cases that doesn't seem like a bad idea, unless something happened. I've just seen it happened and its not worth the consequences. I'm sure the guy knew you won, regardless of the cutoff.

How much nitrous do you plan on running in the future? Power estimate? I'd really like to see one of those.....................go down.



J/k. Nice ride. You should run the guy again when you get more power in the future. He'll be pissed as hell gettin beat three different times from the same car.
I will be running a 100 shot. It will be direct port and it will also be a wet shot. Power estimates is going to be in the range of around 400whp and about 450tq from what I have seen from other Neons on the juice. I doubt im going to stop there though....I always want more power.

you'll need to touch up the internals if you want to keep your ride....

why not just go for a stage 3? much more reliable than a shot of salsa....

There have been many srt owners spraying the **** out of their cars for well over a year now and no problems what so ever. I dont plan on spraying the hell out of it everytime. I plan on spraying at the track and once in a great while on the street. These little cars love juice. Only way I would upgrade my turbo is if I really want power than I would get a 60 trim turbo....rebuild the engine and maybe still leave some juice hooked up on her just incase. Other then that I am planning to stay around the 400whp range for at least a year before I plan on rebuilding my engine and such.

I have nothing big. Just a 3inch exhaust, agp wastegate, stage 1, and mbc set at 18psi. I am trying to get a vid of me racing some cars because I have seen people with more mods than me and they are still beaten by cars such as Cobras in stock form. My car beats on Stage 2 Srt's for some unknown reason.

Tell me about it. Last track time I had was a 13.4@104mph. This was just with the exhaust. So, I dont know where I am at right now. Stage 1 supposidly knocks off about .5 off the quarter and put my MBC and Wastegate so I should be at high 12's. Ill track it again before I go nitrous and see where I am at.

i know a dude here with a 00 neon with 10grand in it with 300 hp and setup for a 250 shot. supplying fuel properly was his biggest problem. i would not be ashamed to be beaten by a real import.

Does anyone here consider a Dodge Neon an Import? I consider it Mopar, which is Domestic.

How is a Dodge an import? Are they made in Mexico? Fbodies were made in Canada so technically they're imports.

What about all the OEM suppliers. You know that many of the components are from over seas...even for Domestics.
