The Dodge Neon SRT-4 is a great vehicle to modify and high performance gains are to be yielded with minimal investment when compared to other vehicles. The SRT-4 comes with 230 hp stock, and that's fully restricted. A fully modified version with unlimited budget can achieve in excess of 600 whp.  Because the car is made in the USA, after market parts were quickly produced by local companies to satisfy the market's demand. There are plenty of Dodge Neon SRT-4 performance parts to choose from.  Make sure you build the engine with the modifications in proper sequence if you plan on segmenting your performance.

It is rare a Dodge engine blows, but it does happen. Appropriate fuel system upgrades consist of fuel injectors, fuel rails, fuel pressure regulators, fuel filters, and high pressure fuel pumps. Upgrading fuel lines and adding a fuel pressure gauge to the system will help you prevent engine fires. When upgrading your car, it is wise to take every step possible to prevent fire from occurring. When modifying this car, keep an eye on EGT's and AFR's. Too lean and too hot will cause bad things to happen!
