I'm excited to see some new neon aerodynamic modifications. When I thought about modifying a dohc, stock 2.4l cams seemed like the perfect choice. Have you considered those? Super cheap is a bonus.
I wanted to go even more crazy with tires on mine, first gen insight tires in the rear and the 185/70/14 Bridgestone b381s from the first gen Honda Civic hybrid in the front. You'd still have incredibly low rolling resistance, but with the benefit of lower cruising rpm since they're so tall. I did some light measuring to see if they fit, with the r/t struts I have in the front it appears that they would without rubbing.
I think a more sane idea would be coil overs plus a Prius sized 185/65R15. I'm sure the tires would last longer, be able to handle a higher load and give you more comfort while still having a lrr coefficient.
I haven't seen that neon with a duct before, neat! I think I would do something more like nodestiny on neons.org and just use the lower grill inlets and create a sort of box to funnel air into the radiator.
