OK, guys. I'm in the process of completing the neon build. After the build, I'll do a 1-day break in, and then take it to the dyno. The contest is this: After I dyno the car, I will be posting the dyno chart. Post your guesses as far as WHP numbers in this thread. I will keep track of them in this post, and edit the post to keep the changes. Dyno will be run on a DynoJet Dyno, at Chicagoland elevations.

You may change your guess as many times as you want to, however, the last one before I post the dyno sheet will be the one that sticks, and all other guesses are thrown out.

You probably have about 3 weeks before I can get it all finished and dynoed, so guess away. I'll try to answer any other questions about the build if I haven't provided enough information for an accurate estimation.

The person that guesses closest to the actual numbers I dyno gets their choice of a 1GB MicroSD memory card, a car charger for their phone, or a leather phone case. I work for an AT&T store, so I will order the right one to fit your phone, regardless of the carrier.

Details of the build:
04 Dodge Neon
2.0L SOHC Engine
Bottom End:
Stock bore
Eagle forged rods
Wiseco forged pistons @ 9.2:1 compression
Top End:
Stock head
Magnum (Neon R/T) Camshaft

All other mods are either for monitoring, chassis, or drivetrain, and have no bearing on the final HP number. I'm not responsible if I forgot to mention something. If I remember something I've forgotten, I'll add it.

Just curious, why didn't you get an SRT-4?

 

If you're putting your own motor in it anyway, why spend the money twice?

 

350HP?

 

362 HP....i'm gonna win, everyone else might as well not even try.

 

328 HP.

290 TQ.

I don't know a lot about much of what you posted. I'm gonna go read up about some, and post new numbers.

 

hmmmm what can it be??[&:][&:]

muahahhahahahhahahaha! i must find out!

btw when are you dynoing it?

so we can see the timeline we have to guess.

 

338.7 WHP

 

375 whp. on a almost stock motor you ran a really good quarter mile. so im guessing thats where youll be.

 

376 bob



i heard u were lookin for 10s, i gotta say tho, i know several 1g dsm guys that have poured some major cash into those cars and they are hitting low 11s. I dont know if that neon is going to make it with an eclipse turbo, that thing will be pushing pretty hard to make those number. what psi u planning on running?
