Well we only have 1 cam because we are SOHC, and there are none out yet [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] but you can have your stock cam reground to help boost performance. As for injectors, I think our stock injectors are fine, unless you are running some sort or forced induction then you could upgrade them.

Rep Power: 0 The bigger injectors are for if you need more fuel, but like IDQcivic said, you don't need more fuel unless you are running something like forced induction, and a new cam would be good if you can find one but best used with a dyno so you can tune it just right with cam gear.

2.5.1 Q: Which engine is better?
A: As with all things Neon, opinions vary widely. However, many feel that the SOHC is better for street use because its torque peak is lower in the rpm range, allowing the engine more time in its power band under normal driving conditions. The SOHC is also a better choice with the automatic transmission. The DOHC does have more power in the top end, above 6000 rpm, which makes it the main choice for racers and autocrossers. Torque is also a bit higher throughout the power band.
Under competition use, though, the DOHC does require more careful maintenance to avoid problems with its more complicated valvetrain. The DOHC is somewhat prone to rocker failure, and does not quite have the same reputation for bulletproof racing reliability that the SOHC enjoys.
