Stock Neon, 16.3, ACR's 15.5 with UDP CAI and Plug wires. ACR Neon's were built specifically for D Stock AutoX and they have dominated this area for quite sometime (since 95) ACR is just a "Trim" package in a sense. Same engine and HP as "regular"

are aftermarket plug wires on a neon really going to improve 1/4 times?
most people see an improvement with aftermarket plug wires when they replace their old oem wires. thus, the 1-2 horsepower difference...at least thats the way it is in honda's.
as far as talking shit...as some of you may think...i'm not. i try to be as realistic as i can and a 15 second car is slow.
and if your neon is mostly stock...then its barely a 15 second car...acr, r/t or whatever.
so unless you have timeslips that say otherwise...i think what i'm saying is both fair and very true.

my car runs mid to high 14's...depending on my launch.
its not very fast...as i just installed this motor and i'm getting it to run properly before i go any further with it...although, when i get back to tampa/st pete i'll have my setup together and my hatch will be respectable. and i'll invite anyone else to race who feels like they have something to prove. this is what makes building a car rewarding and is what i look forward to whenever i'm out driving around. and if i lose...i'll be the first to admit that my car is slower and or i wasn't a good enough driver.

you may be correct. i'm basing my estimates on several things. first, the b16 i have has 8000 original miles on it...which means it runs extremely well, doesn't burn oil...and has good compression. second, i've been able to slightly pull on new style mustang gt's that i assume are stock (based on this area and looking at the driver...as mustangs are very rarely tweaked around here.) third, this motor is in a 92dx which is pretty light and i have a civic si transmission...which has pretty close gear ratios. also, i have an aem cai and a test pipe...which has made a considerable difference when compared to my previous setup which included a shitty exhaust and restrictive cat.
speculation however, is pointless...and i'll be taking my car to the track in the next few weeks when i have time. then, i'll scan and post my timeslips for everyone to see...as i hate it when people lie.

Then why did you say a "neon", not a "15 second car". You were just trying to be an ass. Driving a ronda doesnt make you instantly better than anyone. I would say there are 20x as many slow rondas out there than slow neons.
