just a lil hole on the finger. chain on lift had a lil slack and it gave on my finger... ouch. heres another question, what would be the best port job for a 12a and still be somewhat streetable. its not a daily driver but id like to take it out on a long drive once in a while. ive heard of half bridge, full bridge. im deff not going peripheral. too much for me. im leaning towards a nice big streetport. any insight on the advantages of each? thanks!!!!

That all depends. I have talked to alot of biulders about ports, and they all have told me that a half-bridge is a bad idea. not all the power and all the drivability issues. a street port will give you about 10~15% more power in the mid to top end. If you are looking for a fun and smewhat scary motor without the drivability issues look at having the motor biult to do 10k safely (i.e. race windowed bearings, high pressure oil pump, lightened rotrs etc.) that in combo to the street port will give you a motor that will keep up with alot of rides out there and still be fun and reliable.

Stick with the street port. Only time you go with a BP or a PP is when you can have a free flowing loud exhaust system. Try to restrict it in anyway and itll go slower then a street port.
