new wheels would be best of both worlds. You would benefit in less power to turn them and also the overal weight of trying to move it forward. The benefit on porting ur intake is to flow more air duh! But long tubes would be a better starting point on those cars. Besides porting the intake would only make ur car even more of a dog in the bottom rpms. What mods do you have done already?
