I used to have a 97 Neon SOHC (OK, stop giggling) and I did a few things to the engine to make it faster, one of which involved sending the stock throttle body out to a machine shop, where it was bored oversize inside, and a new butterfly plate fabricated. It only cost about a hundred bucks, and it seemed to make a difference. I can't help but wonder if it would be worth the effort on on our lil Yarii, when used in conjunction with an intake setup. I had a homemade short-ram on the Neon, about a foot long, and it really made a difference IMO, despite never actually documenting anything to be certain. Any thoughts?
