I wouldn't port them, if any porting is done, do it on the exhaust side and make sure you have some big headers(prefferably) zoomies min. 2 1/4" to 2 3/8", you can't put it in unless you can get it out. I run 2 1/4" zoomies on a sm/blk, with track 1 heads.

How about getting a really good valve job and bowl port, .. ??
is the valve job the stock VJ from brodix or did you have someone
do a tricked out VJ ???
The thing about good heads with blowers, .. no different then N/A,
the better the head, the more power AT LESS BOOST, .
BUT, .. on a limited budget I gotta agree with Zip, .. fix up the blower and get your pump, ..
if there's something left get a good valve job and the valve bowls ported.
