Default sohc vs. dohc

how much more power can you build out of a dohc vs. a sohc... I've heard many things about the singles but i've also heard that 2 is better than one... so whats the deal???

oh god....here we go again, sohc vs dohc debate.

dohc will always be better in the long run.....

but the little sohc still has its potential. and most of the time parts are cheap for the sohc......

dohcs can make more power at a lower boost level than sohcs....

The question isn't, "which is better"... the question should be "which is better for you".

1. How much do you have to spend ATM
2. What whp goals are you trying to achieve?

This inquiry is going somewhere and I feel it is engine swap plans.
