Ok everyone I have been debating over this or not. Should I or Shouldn't I bottle feed the Neon? I am pretty sure that a 150 Shot is gonna punch my Neon into the 11's which is what I am shooting for but I just can't seam to get any more out of it. Or should I try a second Turbo also set at 12 pounds of boost? I have already Parked the Neon and am just riding around in my wifes Dakota or my Dads 78 R/T

Normaly I would say NO, but in your case I say go for it, you know what your engine can handle, but if a second Turbo is cheaper, try that first!

BTW, have you found any performance mods I can do to my X-90?

Well, I ordered a Lift kit for it that should come in the next 2 weeks, so right now it is 2 1/2 inches below stock higth, and after the Old Man Emu Springs and lift kit, it will be 3 1/2 inched higher than stock. So my car is going up 6 inches from where it is now in December!
For peformance mods right now I have a cone air intake(Ram Air Tech) and a Thrush Magnum Glaspacked Muffler(from summit racing), but besides that, nothing has been done for performance.

I STILL cannot decide what to do, Nitrous is cheaper than a second Turbo but I like the idea of twin turbo

Well, a second Turbo is safer than NOS, because If you ever have another bad driver slam into you, the might hit your NOS tank. And if you go with a second turbo:
1. You don't have to get it refilled
2. It's on all the time, you don't have to turn on the bottle
3. You don't have to worry about the tempature in you car
4. It's pure engine performance,......
But I'm sure you can think of good resons to put NOS into it too.

I would do the turbo also. For one Nitrous isn't legal here so there goes that one, getting it refilled is another reason, and just for peace of mind! I would be so dang terified ofmy engine getting jacked even if it was completely safe!

Go with the twin turbos, stay all engine. You don't want to become a "bottle baby"

ok everyone I have decided to spend the $3700 to have HKS build be anoughter custom turbo kit for the Neon. I know that $400 is alot cheaper but I just like the all motor (technically since I am turboed right now I ain't all motor) rather than Nitrous
