SOHC cam question

I was curious if I could take a cam out of a first gen neon and put it into my second generation neon and it produce a gain or what would you all recommend for a cheap cam upgrade that are easy to find.

The 2001 or 2002 magum neon cams are popular. As far as I know these cams are available a www.dodgeparts.com

What year is your 1gen? I'm almost sure I read somewhere that a 95 cam is an upgrade, but don't quote me for sure on that without checking neons.org because if I did read that somewhere, that's where it would have been.

Other than that, Magnum cam is good stuff.

'95 SOHC cam is technically an upgrade...but you'll never notice it. It's barely bigger. I've seen the specs on it somewhere..I don't have them right here though. If you're going to the trouble of swapping a cam, don't waste time with the '95 cam.

www.dodgeparts.com has everthing you need teh valve springs are really cheap there too. The cam you could find cheaper somewhere else tho.

grab an 01 or 02 rt cam, if you decide you want a new cam, but don't want to go aftermarket.... no massive gains.. but definatly noticable, moreso depending on what you have done allready to the engine.
