Depending on other mods, a good port & polish can yield HP gains from 10-20.

i have a port and polished head but i do not have the intake like that on my second gen neon, min is plastic, is it posibile to do a port and polish on a plastic intake, i do not think you can but i might as well ask and hope, i would get a used intake from a junk yard and do it if it can be done?

thanks

No, you can't port and polish plastic. Well maybe port, but what would you polish? You can get a magnum intake and put it on there.

A magnum intake is from the 2nd gen neons with the Magnum 150HP SOHC engine. Try neons.org for sale board...here are a few I found!

I think the plastic ones flow very nice if you port them. besides I like that they waight a lot less than the aluminum ones. (I got my car on a diet... jejeje )
