Is Anyone Running A 12a Bridge Port

was wondering how reliable is the bridge port. i have a 12a in my rx7 and it feels and runs strong so i was thinking maybe i can have some fun with it while i save for a 13b. any suggestions . anything special i should do. what are the pros and cons. any info would be great. right now my 7 is all stock. so i was thinking to remove the rats nest,a/c ,power steering etc. i want to take the motor out and clean the engine bay up a bit.

thanks in advance for your help

If you're saving money for a 13B, do that and run the 12Astock. To run even a 1/2bp, you'll need to upgrade the fuel pump, fpr, maybe the fuel lines, aftermarket carb and intake, headers, larger exhaust piping, not to mention the rebuild kit and the tools/templates needed for porting.

Yep - the streetport is a better route to take, but if you're ultimately planning on the 13B swap, I would just leave the 12A alone and save your money. BP is lots of fun, but bad partial throttle hesitations, gas mileage, etc (at least if you drive daily)... its worth the extra hp though....
