You wont gain a whole lot on a NGC car. The biggest cam I'd go with is a crane 12, comp 200, or a mag cam. Anything bigger will make the computer poop itself, add fuel, and pull timing.

Well, all the bolt ons, a long tube header and a small cam will give you some gains, but doing that in a 1gn will give you much better gains.

yeah ive got a 97 but it has a 02 motor in it

Oh gotcha. It's mainly the fact that there is no tuning support for the 03-05 neons. The computer will pretty much back down any tuning you try to do. Say you get 7 HP from a cam on a 95-02, you'll get 3-4 from an 03-05.

That's what my plan was, then I got a 1st gen...now the 05 is a beater.

Funny how that works.
