whats the drivability with a half bridge
I had origanaly wanted to just do a streetport. But now Im thinking I would be happier with the power of a half bridge. (street primarys and bridge secondaries)
What kind of drivability does this setup have. This car is a daily driver.

*Bumping due to interest*
Would like to know if the 1/2 bridge lends itself well to being supercharged.
(...That's right. I said SUPERCHARGED!.
Damned turbo freaks!

I think a streetport would work the best for a supercharger.
The high overlap of a bridgeport will allow the supercharged air to blow strait through the engine, resulting in poor low end boost. You would make huge power up at 8500 but I dont think the blower can handle that.
Maybey the a big one underdriven.

They will make more power from around 4000rpm and have a much wider and flatter power curve. The drawbacks are reduced drivability and bad fuel economy at low revs.
Sterling, if you seriously want to know then post a question in the single turbo or performance sections. There are quite a few people who have experience with these kinds of motors.
