Street porting is about as agressive as I would go for a street car, anything else you will be luck if the car would idle under 1500rpm.
If you port you will need more of a fuel system and very free flowing exhaust to get your best power gains.
Noise is always a concern when driving on the street, so be aware of sound and smog laws.

Well theres lots of websites that detail this. I think theres some links in the FAQ thread too. Search for bridgeport, streetport on the net. Also www.nopistons.com has a great primer on potrint by Judge Ito. Hes a porting guru.

4 port or 6 port are refering to the number of intake runners (tubes) that bring fuel/air mixture into the engine.
6 port is on all 1984 and later 13b non turbo engines.
All other are 4 port, 12a, pre '84 13b and 13b turbo engines.
To count the intake ports (intake tubes that bring fuel/air into the engine.) 2 ports always in the intermediate housing(1 for each rotor), + 1 port in each side housing would be a 4 port engine. 2 ports in each side housing would be 2+2+2= 6 ports.
Make sense...
SO porting a engine would be to modification to the intake and the exhaust ports.
