Who is going to the San Antonio *meet*??

i mean a bolt on 50 trim srt can make high 400's low 500's...... the hard part is finding traction in the fun wheel drive. unless your on a drag radial(even then) you'll have trouble hooking below 60.
if your looking for the 130+ traps in the neon i suggest getting some form of tuning that allows you to run boost by gear if you dont already. if not your just going to blow the tires off. there are plenty of neons making 500+ but still run 11's and most likely wont see 10's unless they do some serious suspension work.

Yeah I thought about that boost by gear but I probably won't see the track anytime soon well until I get stronger axles mexico runs for sure but I'll have to keep it over 60. I'll be running probably around 30# of boost hopefully it don't blow :/

what else have you done to the neon? please say you have upgraded the input shaft and shift selector.. if not do some serious looking into it. cause making good power you're going to break those really fast. boost by gear will even help with the mexico runs. cause if you know you wont have traction at 60 just adjust for a low boost so you can hook at 60.

30 lbs isnt to much on a 50 trim. when i had mine it was as fancy as yours internally (no cams). but i was driving around on 28# on pump gas with meth. plus i was spray a 75 dry shot on top to spool faster. which surprisingly helped. i was hitting full spool at 3100 rpm's.

The trannys pretty new when I got the car. I hold off on the input shaft I already know a few that broke even the aftermarket ones so not sure what I'll do about that. Just a clutch really and all the supporting mods, port work, etc. Popcorn the one doing the work not me I had no clue where to start with that car.

Saw a couple TA's at Biffs tonight.
Silver one leaving at the end of the night drove off, I tried telling him he didnt have his hood fully shut..hopefully he didnt hit high speeds and flip it up lol...
There was a white LT1 formula with custom chrome wheels there too (headlights stuck in the up position i think)...

I heard of that guy from others. I know the car is capable of a low et with it properly setup for the track. I picked up this car Manley to have a quick dd car with 4drs. I'm still looking into getting something to actually make it a "race car" or a car I would love to bring to the meets and ofc it has to be American made
