oh.. another thing.. since i know you guys wont go read about it... the reason the sohc engines do not create the same power is 2 main reasons. first off they do not have the huge option of increasing valve overlap the way a dohc engine does at high rpms. and the cams, which happen to be the reason you get the power increase, are not ground to a performance grind. with an aftermarket cam, you can get a higher, longer lift for the valves, but the truth of the matter is it was designed to ustalize power on the top and bottom end. the dohc engines kinda ignored gas milage on the top end, where the sohc engines created a grind where gas will still be conserved while maintaining a decent amount of power
