Default Is the ZC DOHC better than SOHC vtec?

I just bought a ZC DOHC off my local Japanese Motor Import company. I was told by him as well as a few other people that the ZC DOHC is faster than a stock Si with vtec. I know the horsepower is greater but does the vtec aspect make it a quicker engine or not? Thanks.

A guy I know has a turbo ZC (I am assuming maybe 7-8 lbs) who is running a mid 14, which is more than you can say for most SOHC vtec's running the same boost. His car is quick, and even for n/a, I would have to agree with void_accord.
