oh yea I know, they're definately the bottleneck. How much does it cost to get stock heads ported or is it not even worth it?

RE: Bogging down with slicks?

sweet. Thanks for all your help guys.I guess now it's just time to save up for some slicks for hte track and to look into some porting. Will 235/60-15s be decent slicks? Or can I fit 245s on 15x7? What size diameter would the 235/60 be?

yeah, the 235/60/15's will be good for slicks if you are getting the et streets. you dont have much more power then stock.. maybe an extra 30hp or so over stock at the wheels so you should be fine.
