should I bridgeport or streetport?

Biggest problem is goign to be if you need emissions, or if cops in your area have a big problem with noise.

There's no point in doing a bridgeport and muffling the crap out of it or you may as well just have a nice streetport and a car that idles normally.

There's lots of sides to the argument but I've had both and currently have a streetport. The bridge was great, loved the noise and brap, but ultimately the streetport engines are more streetable. You can easily make 500whp on a streetport all while having a car that idles nearly a civily as a stock RX-7.

But no one can answer this question but you. Only you know if you can deal with the high idle, extra noise, extra gas consumption, lowered life span and added tuning nuances of the BP.

EDIT: Just noticed the point that nolimitind made. Size. You can cut a small bridge and have less of the drawbacks.....but you lose the gains at that point also. I ran a half bridge with a pretty wild eyebrow on the secondaries and after a short while I regretted not doing a full bridge. Because really, if you're doing the cuts, you want it to be as wild as it will be, so there's not a lot of point in trying to make it tame. In my mind its go big or go home because if you're introducing high overlap (which you will even with a teency weency pointless eyebrow) for high RPM power, then introduce as much as you can.
