I'm going to have to check how the water pump set up is on my near stock 46 mpg 95 2.0 SOHC Neon that I drag race now also. It would free up more power and mpgs if I can make ir work here too. This car picked up about 9hp, 3 mpg, and went quicker in the 1/4 mile 3/4 of a second when we totally removed the power steering. The wt of what was removed (under 15 lbs) should have equalled about .01 seconds. Here is the car and who I race against. You can go forwards and back through the album to see us. I was 2nd in pts in 2010 and won the Stick Shift Nationals while 2011 I was 3rd. The black low 12 second SRT4 that is my sig I still use on occasion, but this car is just soooo much easier to drive consistantly. I am the only guy that drives to and from every race and not trailer my cars in nearly all the pts series that I race in!
