Money (NA) is best spent on a cam, udp, and pistons. Though, that's more than most people with opinions on here have dabbled with.

I have, unfortunately it's still an autotragic. Next mod besides repairs = 3.94, when I have the extra money. It's not worth it unless you at least have a turbo or drive a stick.

If I could start over I'd get coilovers.

+1 i know that after all my mods my peak HP & TQ aren't that much higher (thanks NGC) but my hp and tq curves are much flatter meaning that my car pulls stroger for longer and its all within the rev limit, and the thing that really beefed up my power curves was a comp 400 and p&p mag head (i'm sure the udp helped out but i don't have any pre & post udp dynos to compare) next move for me is MS then MTX then Turbo. MTX and turbo might get switched depending on how froggy i feel when i have money.

i'd love to see what your insurance is for an srt @ 19 yrs old. just stick with the reg neon, that way when you put mods on it you slowly get used to the speed and won't trade in your car for something that is too much car for most people.

Yeah but how will the rest of us do SRT4 swaps if it weren't for people like that? :D
