11/02 - The Neon arrives in my driveway!  This car is already equipped with a Mckenna roll cage, upgraded springs and revalved Koni Shocks, upgraded rear sway bar, and some weight reduction. 

This is supposed to be a killer upgrade for the SOHC.  It did make a few more HP/ftlbs across the RPM range.  Sounds like a Honda Vtec motor when the 5000 mark is passed :)

Not tooo Shabby for a little 2.0L SOHC!
