Nice work, how do you like the half bridge so far? I'm quite enjoying mine in my Rx-4. Can't imagine what that would feel like in a small car like the duece.

I actually like it, the power and torque are there plus you have that beutifull Brap sound present all the time without the full bridgeport sacrifice.

That's what I've found with mine as well. Nice smooth torque, even from down low and good power all the way up. It really comes to life at about 5000rpm though. Cruising along in 4th gear (I'm still rocking the stock 4 speed) you can just give it about half throttle and it just pulls. Gotta love the Brap Brap too. Enjoy it man!

I'm interested to know what you used for exhaust. I reworked my exhaust to make it quieter and I've lost a bit of power so I'm still open to new ideas. Losing power on a NA setup isn't an option.
