Default Project Neon Redux

Hey guys my old Neon was a 2003 2.0 SOHC with the automatic. I originally got it just for puttering around and not much else but was surprised how much potential the car really had. Since I've always wanted to drag race I didn't sweat the automatic and started modifying it. Unfortunately I lost my job halfway through the build and the bank ended up taking the car back. I want to buy the same car again but just read in a book that the automatic isn't good for drag racing unless you install a turbo. WTF?! This flys in the face of what I've heard from my friends who run FWD cars. Since the only tubo kit I could find is well out of my price range ($4,500 for theTurbonetics Stage I) I'm left scratching my head. Anybody drag Neons with an automatic?
