    Default 1st gen neon tips

    ok so i read this on neontuners.com

    You can get a 1hp gain by removing the weather stripping below the windshield under the hood

    You can open up your throttle more at WOT by taking a peice of rubber hose and ziptie it where the throttle cable meets the pedal to pull the cable tight because there is enough play in it that at WOT it doesnt open completly

    just thought i would share that

    Damn those are some old old old ass tips. I heven't seen those posted in along time. The rubber hose is a joke, the tb opens 100% without the hose. Use some eashers for spacers and you will get rid of the slack. Tightening th epedal up is beneficial, won't gain you any power but as soon as you touch the pedal itopens the tb. I loved my car when I did this, it really changes the feel while driving but doe snothing for hp.

    The weather stripping alows the underhood temps to be reduced and air to circulate more freely. Not sure about the 1hp gain but it is another beneficial thing to do.
