what do you guys think

ok here is what i'm thinking, i want more power...yeah im power hungry, but i think i wanna stay na and i want it to be able to stay streetable/dailydrivable...so i have a webber 48 ida, im looking for an intake and exhaust. My questions are should i go streetport or bridgeport-its ok if the engine only last 100,000miles so i know bp is gonna be way more power but will it be dailydrivable? and what is the low end throttle/rpm response like? second what type of exhaust should i go for if i go bp...will the rb sp exhaust allow for full potential? and the rb intake for the 48 ida, same question will it allow for full potential, or will it need to be ported to match the bp? any and all info on the subject or advise/thoughts will be very helpful!!! pls no suggestions to go turbo, all tho it would be fun i know boost is addicting and id be way out of control and i like na, when i beat ppl i wanna be able to let them know they were stomped by a carberated, 1.1 liter na....sorry for the long post and thanks

I'd stay away from bp or pp on a street car, it'd be useless on the lower rpm, also, if you are from cali, you might want to take smog into consideration, there's no way be able to idle at 700-800 rpm as required by smog test on bp and pp, maybe, maybe a mild sp would be the best solution.

that's cool (i wish i could do that, smog sux), but streetability is still an issue, since it's gonna idle high and rough and anything below 3-4k rpm is like useless...

I'd go with streetport...rb header...3" titanium exhaust off of your rb header to whatever muffler you want...you need a lightened flywheel...short throw shifter...and maybe larger injectors...tII coils and ignition...all the small little things you can think of...you'd be surprised where you can find alittle extra hp...

should have said 2.5" titanium exhaust honest key pressing mistake...I run 2.5" exhaust with 2 presilencers with a magnaflo at the end...I have EFI in my 12at so I have injectors but you could get bigger jets for the carb...
