I have a Dodge Neon 2.0 DOHC all motor highly modified. The only thing stock is the bottom end. Off the dyno I'm seeing 179 HP to the wheels with minor weight reduction and subs and amps removed. Nonetheless I'm only getting low 14's through the quarter mile with street slicks. Not bad but not good enough. I live in Denver, and I wondering, believing that my driving isn't the issue, can altitude really take what seems like 2+ seconds of an all-motor ET?
So then forced induction... I can't afford a turbo, so 2 stages of nitrous would be what I'd do. Would two stages just suck up my gas mileage and leave me wanting more? Because I'm thinking forced induction at altitude would be extremely effective and I'd get my two seconds back if I sprayed both stages as 75HP shots...
Possible? If so, what else should I consider to make life a little faster for me? Basically I want low 12s.
And dropping the Neon isn't an option so let's ignore car choice and talk performance.
