I contemplating different porting, I like the bridge port idea but I keep hearing of durability issues. Lets say, instead of me making a bridge, what if I made four holes or small ovals in the same size and position of the BP? theoreticallt it would be stronger. What do you think?

Its been tried before. Didn't flow worth a crap. Stick with a good street port.

Yep, it's called a drill port, and I can't see how it'd flow any air very well at all except in vacuum.

With very little increase in overall port volume, little increase in opening timing, and all of those 90 degree turns through small, drilled-through holes, I don't see how it'd be worthwhile at all.
