Anybody with a Dodge Neon look inside

I have a 2000 Plymouth Neon. It has about 130,000 miles on it , but runs like a champ (I had the valve cover off, and I think the engine has been changed). Anyway, I have already adjusted the nut behind the wheel and have done the basics like, aired up tires, grill block, scangauge, lower valence (isn't lawn edging GREAT?) and put in some side gapped spark plugs. I am currently getting north of 40MPG without doing much drafting nor p&g (I am trying to drive like a normal sane person and still get good fuel economy).

Has anyone tried a warm air intake on a Neon and what was your results?

Does anyone else have a problem with the SCANGAUGE not showing the IAT on a Chrysler?

My SG does not show the IAT (it is just blank, but it does read it in my other vehicles), and I feel that is an important piece of info to have while experimenting with a warm air intake.

Also, any input on other known good mods for a Neon would be appreciated. I have searched lots of stuff and will try a Kammback and maybe a Bonneville style spoiler, but any other input will be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Ottis
