New I was in trouble when her helmet went on and I heard the blow off valve during her burn out. I jumped her onthe line but it was all over including the singing @ the 1/8 mile mark. All tail lights. Just curious how much punishment those little 4 bangers can take between rebuilds.
Alot more than ours can, lol. You can double their HP without worrying much about the stock shortblock, I wish we could say the same with our cars1 Mine making 470 is on borrowed time, I am just hoping it holds until I have enough saved for forged internals.

I am talking to the wheel HP BTW. Good thing about the SRT4-light weight, already turboed so very easy to mod, stock parts are pretty damned good all around on the 04 and up (the 03 didn't have limited slip diff), the bad: it's a Neon (econobox) and you know it, it's a 4 door, the rear doesn't even have power windows, and it's FWD. The neutral: it gets no respect, which is bad when you're at a car show or hanging with other car people, but it's awesome for street racing. People don't expect a Neon to run 11's in the 1/4, and if you roll race it beats 99% of stuff on the road that's there legally. My buddy had an 07 GSXR-750 (crotch rocket), and from a 40 roll I would pull on him ever so slightly until we got to the SRT's 5th gear. That's a fast street car, lol. Best of all, it looked stock from the outside, wasn't even super loud until the turbo (it was a GT35R) spooled up. Fun little car!!!
