!2a or 13b?
I'm considering having this done, and would greatly appreciate any more comments about how well you like it?
What else did you change? Fuel pump, exhaust, carb, etc.?
Any problems?
Would you do it again or do something else?

Total cost?

its the same engine 12a streetport but with a bridge next to it. i already had a carter fuel pump installed but i bought a H/D rpm clutch and recored my radiator to 3 row. I love the sound of it but the only thing im going to change is the exhaust to a bit quieter. I havnt been able to go above 7k that where my igniton breaks down. The plugs are pretty old so im going to change them(ngk br8et). Im running a modified older style nikki as they are easier to mod and tune.

All up it cost me $1000(australian). i have got an ignition problem but i had that before. the only other problem was that i was using a semi-synthetic oil in the motor instead of buring cleanly it sort of dried up and stuck to the chrome on the housing and the apex seals wernt even touching the it. I got done buy a guy that is well known in my area for his rebuilds aand porting.

Id do it all again i wouldnt do anything bigger than a bridge port if you arent use to driving one or havent driven one before

How much difference from the BP to your old SP? I'm considering getting my 13B bridge ported. My 12A SP didn't impress me that much. I thought I'd get a lot more than I did, even with my exhaust.
