The correct set up?

Im going to get my 1989 GTU bridgeported for $1600 at Mandeville Motorsports in SC.

Im going to be running intake, header, exhaust, and bridgeported.

What should I add to my set up to make it a little better daily driving, and to get more power.

Yes you DEFINITLY want to tune that beast with an engine management system.

Can he go carbed here as well for "analog" tuning?

Don't go for cheap, you'll regret it when you're forever trying to get you car running nicely.
The best value-for-money system has to be Haltech. Check out the Haltech and HITman websites for more info.

Um,

1) You want your raced-out, bridgeported car to be better for daily driving?
2) You are spending $1,600 on a bridgeport by The MoTeC rotary engine expert shop, and you are asking about the "cheapest" engine management system?
3) You would rather ask the nobodies on this forum how to set up your car instead of asking Roger?
4) Are you a troll, or just on crack?

Angry

I wanted to know the cheapest so I could get a rough estimate so I know the price range...cause I already know how much the haltech one is...and as far as daily driven...I have a friend in GA that has a 12a bridge ported and drives it everyday...I wanted to know what will help me as far as driving in traffic and what will help me as far as idle etc etc.

good way to be an *******
