Streetporting Question

I want to Streetport my motor and i went to http://www.speedmachineperformance.com/86_9115?b=1 and theres 3 types of ports i was thinking of the Stage 2 or Stage 3 the stage 3 gives you more power which is always better but would the stage 3 be too big? i have an 87 n/a with a K&N Intake, Catback exhaust with a high flo cat... Im not worried bout not passing inspection because it wont pass inspection now

Alot of people say that bigger is more power, but less streetable, meaning drivability goes out the window. Low end torque is always discussed with larger ports as 'inadequate'.

From what I've read, its OVER RATED, alot of people have said that bridge ports make driving very difficult, but then people who have bridge ports say that its VERY drivable! What, are people just shitty drivers that can't operate a clutch properly? or is it that they have never had a bridgeport and just assume its gonna suck for low end.

meh.. me personally, I'd get it as big as possible without needing to have a standalone.

to add to the other side of the debate the larger the port the moe power you get the more wear and tear on the engine thus decreasing its life
