As for BP vs SP.... that really is up to you. I've gone through this thought process countless times myself and its never easy. The truth of it is... if you plan to drive the car, even remotely regularly (like 1-2 times a week for more than 100 miles/commute) the BP really isn't worth the headache. If its a dedicated track car and gets very occasional street use, no worries. This all of course depends on the extent of the BP and the rest of tuning that goes with it....

You can always get another car and BP it and have both

Yea I have been thinking of the headaches of the bp. But it would also be a HBP still prob not much difference in problems. I have been thinking more about it and Im going to most likely do the porting so the duration of the intake is longer, leaving the opening the same minimizing the overlap. The exhaust is already ported for earlier opening and a little later closing im sure and is just larger and smoother. In reality I do want to drive this thing whenever I can and the power it made with the last porting was plenty enough for me. I want it to be a little more reliable for street and the summer Auto cross races that I miss doing.
