![]() The Neons generally are considered econo-boxes. They are generally claimed out by mid-season. I've seen bright yellow race springs, chrome headers, and Heim joint suspensions on Hondas, Acuras, GM Ecotecs, and even a Toyota. I generally run a little further under the radar than a lot of guys. Tech inspect is generally soft in claimer classes. The posts I've read so far look 100% correct. I'm set up almost exactly like KYPLAYER, except stocker cams, bored TB, & Mustang injectors all inside a primered 4-door. Most of the other guys are equally qualified, but I've dealt personally with Rick, a super-helpful guy. If you can find the picture of his Neon pulling the LR tire up 8" on the turns, it's pretty impressive. He's helped me out on a few occasions, directly and indirectly through his posts. But I will tell you to take "Ricksneon" advice. I can't offer gear expertise for 1/2 mile track. I built this to turn 7500 +/- that about when it lays down.

RPM divided by (gear times final ratio) times tire circumference (inches) divided by 12 will give you feet per minute, times 60 will give you feet per hour, divided by 5280 will give you miles per hour. ![]() ![]() If you have a baseline you can mathematically work out what a ratio change will do. You might consider changing to an ATX as there are 8 different final drive ratio combinations. (A 2.0 will rev higher before laying down since air flow is lower) Not sure about SOHC. I have only run mine (2.4 DOHC ATX) to 6750, I'm not sure how much higher you can go without it laying down. ![]() So between those two ratios and a couple of different size tires there is some flexibility. You may even have to shift, which might not be so bad if you are braking a long time (you would have time to downshift)Īll of the manual transmissions are the same except for 5th gear, so the only difference is 3.5 or 3.94 final drive ratios. The more the RPM changes the more critical it will be to use up RPM (over-run from peak power RPM). A lot depends on track shape and corner speed. ![]()
