what are your opinions on a half bridge vs. the full bridge turbo motors... im soon to be building one and just want some feed back on problems.. gains and issues with both setups......


thanks

If this is a daily driver on the street, it'll be eating a lot more fuel than an SP motor.
I don't recommend them for a DD street vehicle.

It sounds like you just want the "brap brap" real bad.

A half bridge will at least save you some fuel & some engine life.

Are bridge ports even necessary any more? Hell, stock port/Street port motors are now making relatively comparable numbers with more reliability. I dont think I would even bother since upwards of 500 WHP has been done on a stockport and over 5 has been done on a street port.

I would prefer streetport but I bought mine with the half bridge back in 2002 and it's been good to me..Next one will def. be streetport

i already have a 550 whp street port.. i just want that great bridge noise...
lol

Okay, fair enough. Just figured I would make the point for those that didnt understand.
