what model do you have? sohc or dohc?

Things i would suggest would be afx computer, long tube header, solid motor mounts, cams, upgraded springs

im not going to link to the neon vendors i dont know if im supposed to here but you can find them all at neons.org

basically do a lot of research at neons.org, the biggest reliability problem for pre 99 vehicles were the headgaskets that were supplied to not to manafacturer specifications.

If you want to mod something id get a seperate car with a more solid platform that will be cheaper and more reliable to mod. Because if you start modding your car, it will become a money pit.
To the OP: Not trying to be an ass but you dont come off as very knowledgable with cars. Wait and get something else that's a little more novice friendly, and acquire some know how as you daily drive the neon.

You can supercharge a neon. I know theres a guy on neons.org who has it done. Im not sure of any actual kits made for it, but Im pretty sure it can be done fairly cheap.
