    It's not an A car, trust me.

    That car is going to make significant gains in IT trim. 2470 is process weight, but I expect it to make way more than 25%.

    My motor (3.5 liters, crappy 2 valve, bad intake) was 133 stock hp. I make 180 whp with an IT build.

    My 2001 3.8L conv. is rated at 190 bhp by the book. Believe me, I've thought about one of these things, too.

    Also, the DOHC Neon makes VERY little torque (only slightly more than *half* the Mustang), and that stock HP number is, um, optimistic.

    Do you know its going to make more than 25% for fact? Do you have actual data?

    The 94-98 v6 uses different heads and intake than yours. Not a valid data point for comparisons

    Psherm, I said I expect it to, not guaranteed.

    It's 3.8 liters. My motor is 3.5, with lower compression and a marginal intake and cam. It makes 180 whp. I would expect the 3.8 to get close to that.
