After all of the Aux-Bridge/Bad talk; I've pretty much decided to go 4-Port N/A (Snails are for Frenchmen) w/ a S5 rotating assembly, MegaSquirt for fuel, 12A Dizzy for spark, full header-back exhaust. I want to keep it very streetable (this will be my daily driver) but also, I want 200+ HP.



Now... what kind of porting should I do to this? I want power... but I want some low-end. I was thinking just the MazdaTrix Streetport templates... but then again... what about a half-bridge N/A 4-port?



I'm keeping the 2.5" exhaust, which would keep the sound down. But, I'd also install an exhaust cutout... for ***** and giggles while @ the track.



Also, when going for an N/A 4-port setup... what intake manifold would be best to use?? I'll be making a 3.5" CAI for it... so it doesn't really matter which direction it points; I'm just wanting the best for the application.

 

we're kinda thinking along the same lines, a 4 port with a big street port will do about 200rwhp with a 48ida intake and it should run forever.

I'd like to add, that the only manifolds I'll have the option of choosing (right off the bat anyway) are a Modded N/A manifold (S4 or S5), or a stock TII manifold (S4 or S5). The FD manifold isn't really a viable option, as I could buy an IDA manifold for that; whereas I can get any of the before-mentioned mani's in trade.
