Yes, those are good ideas. Especially running the stock wheels.
Also, make sure you have your front tires down a bit in pressure (if you are racing from a stop and not a roll) for more traction onthe launch, say about 24 psi or so. And, run on as little gas as possible (each gallon weighs at least 5 lbs if not a bit more). The neon has the weight advantage, so you need to make sure you have as little in your car as possible.

afx nderdrive pulley is a light weight crank pulley (usually billet aluminum vs. heavy steel used on stock pulley). It is smaller in diameter as well to "underdrive" the accessory belts (power steering, a/c, alternator) this puts a lot less strain on the engine. Typical gains are anywhere from 5-15 HP depending on who you talk to.
Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?

Hey i raced a neon that had the same basic boltons that u are talking about, yea weight helped me win the race. u said u are gonna get a 60mm tb, i dunno if u should go that big maybe 56 at max, unless u are planning to go turbo in the future. Oh and u should port the manifold to match the tb... at least thats what i've been told can n e one else back me up?
