basic ways to increase power
I have a 2000 ES 5spd that I haven't done anything to other than a cold air intake. what other mods should I consider to get some more power? I'm on a pretty small budget, but I'd like to see what my options are.
2000 Dodge Neon ES. (Brnin8r)
1995 Plymouth Neon LX (sent to grave)
2001 Plymouth Neon (organ donor)

There isn't much u can do to get good power especially on a budget. It costs lots of money to even get to 200hp n/a.

Swapping an R/T (Magnum) head, and a 400 cam will net you a noticeable increase in power, but you are still going to spend some $$$ even on used parts for the gains you will get. If you upgraded the PCM the mods would be more noticeable.
Being an MTX, the smaller items like Fuzzyneon mentioned will be a bit more noticeable than if you had an ATX.
