From what I know, you can port a TII any of those ways, but for the highest hp output without many other mods ie haltec ect. the best porting job would be a bridge port

There are several question you need to ask yourself...
What application is this for?&nbsp Street?&nbsp Race?&nbsp If race, what kinda racing?
Can you afford ALL the porting options?&nbsp Some cost more than others...
Do you realize you need to tear the entire engine down and basically end up doing a rebuild?&nbsp You're looking at a $2,000+ on average for just a "port job".

There is not such thing as a BEST port.&nbsp All performance have a compromise.&nbsp That bridge port BlackRx7 will have crappy low end, eat a lot of gas (i.e. inefficient) on the low-end, and will eventually break the bridge itself, which WILL take out at least one rotor housing - can you live with those "compromises"???

If you want a streetable TII id go with a streetport. Streetport are more effective with bigger turbo.
