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.

What is the expected use of this engine? Street or track driving?

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.
