A quiet bridgeported engine for the street? Havnt heard one myself.
Amazingly, Tri-Point Engineerings '86 SOLO2 car was converted from a T2 to a Peripheral Ported engine and blew out 6 foot flames with only a hiss! Key was their own twin tandem 4 foot long mufflers.
Since saving money is of concern and 200 RHWP is your goal, go with a street-port/ carb combo.

It doesn't have to be that quiet? I just don't want it so loud that I can't pass a cop without getting pulled over.

Money is only an issue right now. I only have enough to buy the car and pull junkyard parts. However, with time I shouldn't have a problem getting the money to complete my goals. I really appreciate all the good advice. Hopefully I'll have an update with some good news soon.
