Improving low-end power?

I have a free flowing exhaust and my 5th and 6th ports are wired open, acv blocked...

anyone know of a way to improve low end power or response, and does the pulley kits and/or matched with a lightened flywheel, make a big difference all-around performance?

Close your 5th and 6th ports.
Pulley kits make a slight difference.
Flywheels change the response of the engine not the power.

or a verysmall turbo . flywheels help power some cause the lighter the fly the less weight and rotational for the engine has to spin.

I was going to turbo it, but idk, seems like to much work now to make it professional and not ghetto.

Supercharger I wish. find me one for sale.

there isnt much you can do to improve the low end besides cold air intake kit, which you have to make yourself. i have the corksport kit but its not actually a cai , other thing you can do is get an safc and get your car dyno tuned, that always improves your low end power and topend as well

the aux ports wired open are robbing you of major low low end torque right there (probably 15-20 ftlbs)

Fix the car instead of breaking it, then see what you need.

The short ram intake I installed gave me a nice boost in low-end torque, plus the turbo spools a lot quicker.

I did some searching cause i will eventually want to do this: but check around a little more.

also a universal super charger kit will work to (doesn't mean you won't have to do some work for it)

Whatever you do, Dont fall for the ebay electric supercharger. Total junk POS. Definitely get the 5-6th ports working. I think short of getting into forced induction ie. turbo or supercharger, improving low-end would be an exercise in futility. Rotaries dont develop power much on the low end, Just the nature of the beast.

That's why I'm going twin screw supercharged( Mazda Millenia blower) as soon as I'm done with my remodel on my new home. Hope it will be up and running by no later than Dec. of this year. Be my B'day present to myself. Will post the build for better or worse.
