THe other comment about 500 hp was a bit of sarcasm on my part. There is more HP to be had with a proper tune albeit, nowhere near 500.
Dude, we bought our boost off a shelf; these guys took an already well-performing engine, some metal, a torch, some high-dollar grease, and lots of beer and more than doubled the amount of power than our cars put down stock, using less displacement than mine and probably about the same amount of boost as yours prior to your modding. I'd call that an accomplishment worthy of nothing but respect.
To say, "I never tried to beat a dead horse an FI my contour" is to skate on extremely thin ice. I would imagine the LS1 forum would have the same thing to say about a Neon. Represent for your old ride, man, even if your new one is faster
Ya'll make yourselves sound worse than srt4 owners. I know f-body owners that act worse than srt4 owners and vice versa. Funny how people can't differentiate a car from a person. I think it's just the ws6 and ss owners are just mad because a stock $21k neon can come so close to beating them. And with just $3k, a srt4 could absolutely SMOKE a ws6. I know first hand what a stock srt4 vs. ws6 race looks like, and it won't take much for that 4cyl to kill the 8cyl.
Funny thing was, after the race(s), the srt4 owner was telling it straight to everyone, while the ws6 owner was really really inflating how much he won by.
