My buddy has an SRT4 Neon. The Mods that i know he has is as followed: 3 inch single exhaust, boost controller, and Tires. He claim's to run Mid to high 12's in the Quarter Mile and he plans on doing nothing else to the car.

I have about $6000 to work with. I do know about the search option but i just want to get some mixed ideas.

I have a 2000 5.3 RCSB with 3.23. It's Totally stock. This truck will never see the track. It's my DD and i haul things every now and then. I'm going to invest more in the truck when i get the funds but I just want to build in my head before i start spending, but for now if you were in my shoes how would u spend 6k?

 

do you have to deal with strict emmision laws??

 

to be in the 12's, you will need a cam, maybe a 220/220 or a 224/224 cam, in which case you will need upgraded valve springs and pushrods, long tube headers, exhaust, intake, 3.73 or 4.10 gears, at least a 3000 stall, 3200 would be better, a tune, and a little weight reduction, all of that should fall somewhere between 2000 to 3000 dollars depending on what brand parts and if new or used

 

will a SRt4 really run 12s with those mods????

 

There is absolutely no way he is running high 12's with that combo unless he's dropped 1,200lbs in weight. A lot of my buddies have SRT-4's and believe me, it takes more than those mods to run 12's on DR's. I could easily see mid 13's however; if the driver is skilled.

 

thats definitely what i would start with.....and theres no way that car is in 12's with exhaust and tires......they run high 13's from the factory.

 

do what drykill said and then add a 100-150 shot of n20 and your good to go

 

Umm, a 6L, cam, stall, 150shot.

 

Ummm...6000 grand could buy you a decent FI system. STS bottom line or SC top end could definetly fit within that budget.

 

That's what i thought!! He claims to run high 12's but i was thinking more in the line of 13's. He is not a very skilled driver at that.
