Well the main reason our engine is referred to as the neon engine is because the neon was the 1rst and only car to have it and the next car it ended up in (a yr later) was the eclipse/talon. All press coverage of the GS/RS/ESi even prior to release referred to it as a turned around and refined version of "the neon engine". Diamond Star cars prior to ours were quite frankly mitsus and rebadged mitsus (laser/eagles). None ever carried chysler parts or development (other than styling which was always worse on the chryler cars save the 1G talon) so containing chrysler and mitsu parts was never in the spirit of DSM (although it was in the spirit of being able to classify eclipses as domestic, reason why we got chrysler engines). Really the 420A is Chrylers new (then new) 4cyl flagship to replace the previous 2.2L. In various forms it is the only 4cyl you'll find in chrysler cars from the 4cyl carivan to the pt cruiser to the neon. I guess they should call it "the chrysler 4". I didn't even like the idea of a chyrler engine in an eclipse but the more I found out the more there was to like.

Oh I have nothing to brag about and never will because whatever can be done will have to be done within the limits of the Apexi SAFC, MSD DIS2 and prepped stock rods which will be 15psi max. Once I can actually run 15psi my goal is then to make 15psi perform like 20psi via headwork and things you'll find out when I get there. I just assume start a new project before going beyond that.
