Alright....I still havent taken off my rat's nest and still don't know which carb to get for my car, but another issue has arrived. Should I get a new carb or should I get better wheels and tires(ROH snypers). I could go either way, it doesn't really matter to me. I'd just like to hear from you guys as to what you think I would get better performance out of. Right now I've got a stock engine with Lowes brand cold air intake and stock wheels with tires. Any suggestions, comments, complaints or criticisms would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cameron

I'd be inclined to say carb but since you have a stock port engine, the stock carb is actually good enough. Go the rims and tires. 15".

Well the rule of thumb is for each inch size up, you add 10mm width and reduce profile by 10%. So on my GSL-SE which has 205/60-14 stock, I'd use 215/50-15. I'd think that should work on your car as well.

I use 205/50/15's all the way around with my Snypers with no problems.

Viper,

did you change hubs & axles or do you run the 110mm pattern?

It's the 4x110 pattern. Picked up the wheels at Group A wheels.
