You should feel bad! Lol just kidding. It sounds good, and looks good. It doesn't seem to lope much with those cams. But has good power. Very nice.

Thanks man. I still need to rotate the cam magnet some more to keep the motor idling, besides that she runs like a top.

I'm thinking of doing a similar build up to yours. Just I want crane 18s instead of crower cams. What do you think? And what advice could you give me?

Make sure your head is ported, and use Crane or Crower valvlesprings...I love big cams.

Check on the ported head, and the valvesprings were going to be replaced anyhow, so check on those also. What else? I don't think I'm going to "build" the bottom end really either. I want SRT4 rods with new speed pro PT pistons on them. That way I have decent compression and holding power. I want to throw a turbo on it later.

I got the car idling great! I changed the MAP sensor plug. There was a bad connection in the plug I guess. Now I need a clutch cable. I also found a short shift at the JY for $5.00!!!! Cant beat that.

And here is a photo of it with the HID's on...

My short throw shifter was also found at the junkyard and was 7 dollars. Sweet score though!

I got the neon home 2 weeks ago! I am so happy to have her Home. Its been over 2 years since this thing has been running good. Now she needs a clutch but she is good.
