Is that a Turbo III motor with the intercooler? A buddy of mine had one from new with a 5 spd and with stock internals and some tweeking it ran IIRC high 12's and drove to work every day for over 100,000 miles. He sprung for the MP Performance ECU for it and said it was a waste of money. Basically zero gains for the $$.

His son has a turbo Neon (SRT4?)that runs mid to hi 12's when the clutch is fresh and it doesn't have anything exotic either.
