Aweseom, ya got any other specs on the car, I am guessing he went with a 2.2 kit... also what fuel systme is he running? If its a 20g I am guessing a portfuler system.

well, he originally had the 2.2 kit, with JE pistons, crower rods...using what is basically the hahn top end kit...i think that they call it stage 5. He got the equal length turbo manifold yesterday, but i dont have a picture yet. the turbo is a brand new 20g, and he is running a portfueler system, and for ignition he is running the MSD programmable setup...im not sure what the model name is...but he has a laptop mounted in the car to run it. but, someone offered him top dollar for his 2.2, so he now has a 2.6 stroker block, with the full forged bottom end. the clutch and diff. are already in..he got a quiafe LSD and a stage 4 "race spec" clutch from fidanza, i believe...it will all be in this car:

with the completely stock 420a, with the aforementioned clutch and differential, with a 75 shot, it ran in the high 14s...and with the "regular" 55 shot, it ran consistant 15.0s...

Damn that is one fast 420a. I really like the first race though cuz the mustang guys has a really bad R/T i think. LOL

dag thats one heck of a setup, that car will be a beast at the track, I am guessing low 11's if he can hook... talking about 420a's My one friend has a 98 neon r/t with a 420a in it and he just got it all togahter(stage 5 hahn kit, cams w/5 angle valve job, buit 2.0 bottom end) He over tightened the timming belt tenisoner bolt and he put 9 miles on it and wham broke the tensioner and threw the timming belt... now he needs a brand new motor.

Their is a 2.4 liter 420a(used in jeep's and 4 door neons) and you can stroke that out... you just need custom rods, ITs an easy swap in those cars because they also are equiped with a v6 and have enough room under the hood.

****IN AWESOME!!! Except for the whole ugly spoiler on the back on a FWD car, that was awesome!!! Do you know if that car has an LSD or not, and someone give that guy some slicks so he can bust into the 11s possibly!!! Awesome vid, inspirational for sure!

Dude that's nice. It shows that, that dude definatly didn't just throw on whatever and race his car, he put lots of time and effort and is taking in all the rewards of his hard work.
