    Depends on what model. If it was an NA, I'd have to say gasoline, matches, and a good smack in the face for buying a NEON in disguise.

    If it was a GSX or GST model, I'd say turboback exhaust system.

    I agree with this guy.

    But if it's turbo, get a GOOD blow off valve, safc2, and wideband... then turn the boost up

    For real though Google DSM Free mods. There are a few that make a big difference. They don't take long either. After that then start spending money. Always get the free mods out of the way first. That is if it is a Turbo car. If not you my friend are screwed.

    lol at all the hate.

    Anyways, whatever you do, do NOT buy crappy cheap parts... Or you will be rewarded with what you paid for. AEM wideband, 3 inch exhaust, upgraded turbo, cams, bigger fuel pump and injectors, and have fun... This is of course it it's a GST or GSX.

    Yeah do all the free mods first. I would say a FMIC is a good place to start. more air in+more air out = more power. keep that in mind.

    I second this. Invest in a GSX or a nice GS-T and keep it mild.
