Still new with my 88 na and was wondering if anyone on here has bridgeported their fc. If so can you share you story and maybe spread some knowledge for me because I don't wanna go T2 I wanna stay NA but have some more power then my regular 13b.

 

Oops I meant 86 not 88, stewpid bert

 

well...i'll tell ya one thing....bridgeports arent very streetable....

and you're not gonna make much more than 220whp unless you go turbo....then 220 is easily attained for cheap.

Plus, unless you have some sort of smog hook-up, I wouldn't do anything more than a streetport. Bridgeports have a horrible time with emissions.

 

There are a number of bridgeported FCs around...

Now, keep in mind that it's just just about porting the engine. If you bridgeport you engine you'll need a full standalone to control it properly, and you'll have to swap the intake manifold as the stock manifolds don't handle high overlap ports. Your choices for standalone are virtually unlimited with the most popular being the Haltech, Microtech and Megasquirt (in that order). Your manifold selection is limited. RB makes some lower manifolds that can be mated with Guru or TweakIT uppers and ITBs. Aside from that, you're fabbing from scratch.

With a good manifold, LOUD exhaust and a properly tuned standalone you should be able to pull 275HP out of a full bridge NA 13B. If it's tuned properly it will be quite streetable but to get the airflow needed your exhaust will be VERY, VERY LOUD. You'll also be getting 8-10 MPG in town due to the overlap.
