I personally don't think it should matter. Like I said, I rode mine hard for over two years (ran about a bottle on nitrous through it weekly), and never had any problems. But, there was a good bit of upkeep. I also premixed. There isn't as much power early on, as with a street port, but when the bridge comes alive, it really goes crazy. Again, you may want to consider a hlaf bridge though. Either way, if your foundation is solid, I think it will take whatever you throw at it. Just make sure you keep a watch on the timing and the plugs, and change the oil often if you go full bridge. Depending on how large of a bridge, remember you may have to address more cooling.
