half bridge idea

nother idea
just a thought
im thinking that doing a half bridge with the bridges in the center plate and a modified nikki turned backwards, giving the bridged secondaries the shorter intake path

thoughts?

I doubt even a sterling/carl modded nikki can flow enough for a 1/2 bridge.

Go full bridge, but with a smaller bridge on the primaries than the secondaries. You will still lose some drivability but not as much. It really depends on what you want to put up with when it comes to streetable/not.

I like your idea of reverse flowing the carb so the half bridge has a shorter intake path. Good thinking
