Bridgeport Sound?
Dose a secondary brigdeport sound just the same as a full bridgeport is it better to do a full bridgeport for the sound or will a secondary bridgeport sound just as good?

full bridge lopes a little faster.
..........full bridge: blap.blap.blap.blap.blap.blap
secondarys only: blap...blap...blap...blap...blap
does that make sense???

The way the whole car rocks at traffic lights is just as important, if not more.

What RPM does your bridgeport idle at???
I have a carborated NA bridgeport 12a that needs freshing up before I drop it in my RX3. The builder of the motor warned me that it has a high idle around 1300.
Are you running lightned flywheel????
thanks

I built a bridgeport last year in the fall and got it in the car and it starts fine but i can get the idle down for the life of me. Its always around 1600rpm the motor isnt broken in yet. I have about 15kms on the motor and maybe running time about 3hours. i got cermet housing and that hole deal too.

I have a half bridge and your right the bwap....bwap is spaced out and more subtle. I found it funny how it picks up in pace as you increase the PSI on your FPR and naturally it will idle a bit higher than stock. If it didn't then the engine would stall out at idle.

I'm curious to see how well I can get an NA half-bridge with a staged throttle body and properly sized intake runners to behave on the street with a standalone. I guess thats why I'm building one. Its gonna be an 85 12A with a GSL-SE center housing and bridged secondaries (not cutting into the water seals). I'm currently tossing around ideas for a custom intake manifold using a TII throttle body. Should be interesting.
