how do i port & polish my intake????

ok i really want to do this BADLY, is it hard to do? how much would it cost to get it done professionally? how do i do it? what part/parts of the intake do i polish? iv started working on my car but dont really know these things so would this be difficult to pull off for me? please help becuase i want to do this VERY VERY badly.

also when i do a burnout while power breaking, why does my cars rear just start shaking very badly, my friend says it's because the back of the car has 0 weight?

I'm working on a tech article as we speak. I'll email a copy to whoever wants it before I submit it with pictures to Dirk. Then it'll be a permanent tech article. Yay.

That shake you get is what you call wheel hop. Its caused by bad rear suspension components, not because there is "0" weight. Whats happening is that the lower control arms in the rear cannot keep the axle still and the axle is bouncing around in the rear. The tires are actually coming off the ground a bid and bouncing up and down which is realy bad! You could break axles, rear ends and lots of other bad stuff.
