On a 6 port half bridge, has anyone tried to just bridge the aux ports? no bridge on the secondaries, just a large streetport. That seems like it would be pretty streetable as the bridge would only be open at high RPMs.

what kind of power does this combo make? are there any other combo's that make good power?
everything in the NA pretty much comes down to the intake manifold runners and when u want to open teh ports, pretty much if you want anythign over 160 at the wheels you need to modify the intake runners, given you already have a well flowing exhaust.
so if you are lookign for more power then that, then you shuold think about diffrentintake runners. with the 6 port motor being completely stock you can get about 185 at the wheels with proper intake and exhaust.only then if your think its not enouf for you you shoudl really start to thinkabout portign the engine. the stock 6 port engine can flow a lot already, it just has very restrictive intake and exhaust.

An aux. bridge port end plate is in my avatar. I haven't built this motor yet though. I'm hoping with a full race setup (haltech, big exh., extruded intake, etc.) it will make over 200hp at the crank.
