i know the neon has 150hp and our have 140hp. i was told it was because of the cams is it true,if so would it be worth it to put the cams of a neon in my car. thanks

the cams may be different.. but I would think it would be more from their superious intake and exhaust designs, by having the exhaust in the back of the block you get a much straighter exhaust path by not having to bend around the engine and then go back.. they just go back.. but that's just my theory.

I read that both engine produce about the same, its just that dodge “exaggerates” a little with the numbers for the neon.

Maybe a 2.4L intake cam with help with hp. check the specs

Yeah, you don't want those anyway. They're still stock(for the neon). You should get some performance cams if you really want to upgrade. Crane and Crower make some good ones.


ride__________95 Eclipse RS : 5 speed
power________Gude cams : AFX UDP : ram air : test pipe : Thrush glasspack
suspention___BOMZ F/R upper strut bars : ES inserts
shizzle_______AutoCommand remote start : Dual air horns : Kenwood KDC 5000 : Rampage sub
incomming___lower strut bars

if you ask me, it's because the Neon DOHC runs 9.8:1 compression to our 9.6:1, with a little "exageration"
