horsepower! :-) i think the sohc is 120 hp while the dohc is 130+ hp.... as far as the vtec zc, never heard of it!... well never seen one anyway..... go with the dohc.... pretty cheap here in tennessee.... like 600.00 local pickup!

Re: (justinau)

I got the dohc and I've been happy with it, if you plan on making a good bit of power dohc is more tuneable, plus once you get some nice big cams in there vtec wont matter much as you wont be in those low rpms.
