with 700 dollars could i make my neon that much faster?
what would be the best parts for that amount of money?
and would it make that big of a difference?

LTH: $250
Ghetto Blaster: $30
DOHC pistons: $100
Shave head: $200
60mm Jeep TB: $50
and you have $70 left over
Or you could spray on a stock bottom end (bad idea)

Save it for a trade in on an SRT-4!
With an AtX, I'd get a nitrous kit.

So many neons so little time.

I would save it for an SRT swap. Or visual mods. Stock rims suck ass.
Aren't you trying to get rid of your neon?

nitrous kit (50 shot shouldn't blow your stock motor if you don't get button happy). or a decent start on saving for a motor swap. you're not gonna get a whole lot faster on an '05 automatic.
