A neon with just a tubo strapped on can run 11's... Hahn's racecraft down the road from me has a neon running a 9.72 quarter. not sure about a head conversion though.

have you tried a Neon/Dodge site yet to ask these questions??
that's probably a better resource.

The Neon you're thinking about is the Neon SXT. It comes from the new 'internal-tuner' division withing Daimle-Chrysler, now called 'PVO' ie: Performance Vehicle Operations. PVO is Daimler-Chrysler's take on Ford's SVT, and even, to some extent, BMW's M division (though none of us can really be expected to believe they can compete with BMW!). Though it sounds promising, 'SXT' is really Dodge-speak for 'Value'. The Neon SXT is really just a neon with some new wheels, cladding and badges. The whole drivetrain is exactly the same as the standard-issue, boring neon, and it does a much better job towing grandmas around as a rental car than it will EVER do at beating my 'tour. And minivan heads??????!!!! :rolleyes: Sure.....Anyone ever hear of the Fish carburator?
I guess when you're stuck with a neon, you gotta try anything.
