job well done it sounds good,friendly advice if you want your engine to last under boost/track make sure to have a good tuner set up you microtech.We're lucky we live in Florida and you have very knowledgeable tuners.You can't go wrong with Boris Rojas , Kilo Racing or Abel Burgos. I personally have dealt with Boris Rojas and he has in house DYNO prices are very reasonable, Kilo is a good guy and knows his rotaries very well and I had friends that had their car tuned by Abel Burgos and are very happy.I couldn't tell you about Kilo and Abel's prices.It's better to pay a good tuner even if it's higher than some other guy that CLAIMS he knows what's hes doing but don't know S_it ....it's cheaper than rebuilding another engine.Keep us posted.

Awesome! One stupid question though. What's a half bridge port or how does it differ from a full bridge? Also got any pics of the port job?

instead of having a bridge port in all side of the irons (4) it has the bridge in 2 side only.

If you don't mind me asking what are the advantages of this rather than just doing a street port/extend port or just going full bridgie?

that seems like a good deal. from what i hear my blow through carb setup is worth a pretty penny but i don't know the first thing about tuning carbs.

how do you control timing? i didn't see a distributor so are you using a 86+ position sensor? does the microtech control that as well? what about coils?

i currently have a hks ignition setup, it's like a msd BTM.

ps do ypu hang out with any of the local rotary guys? i used to hang out with Carlos (Zitro Racing) and Luis (4 star auto). it's been a while tho since i've been outta the game for about 10 years.
