So, yes it can be done.
Hassle? Yeah, a bank of 4 switches that you toggle through going down the track?...that would be interesting to say the least in competition!

You'd probably have to throw some relays into the mix, too.
Doesn't sound impossible though.

Bill, are you tuning the Buick thru HP Tuners ? if so, should have some trans tables in there to "adjust" or turn off and on...

Yes, I'm using HP Tuners but it's not quite that simple with the Buick. The Cavalier is pretty simple.

Both cars are relatively simple. The Cavalier sort of just does what it's told. The Buick seems to be a bit more rebellious, maybe even a bit vindictive at times.

I am not a computer guy.

Could you just monkey with the speed sensor pulse
to trick the transmission on the Neon to shift later?

John, I'm thinking the short tires would mess with you. RPM would be up, but actual MPH would be down...maybe?
