well yeah the sohc would be a drawback but with the right cam you can accomplish that. look at the j32a1 and j32a2 (both 3.2l TL) one makes 210 hp and the other 260hp i think. both are sohc and the heads are different, plus a bit higher compression on the A2 variant. Plus i see the f series engines as torque horse power, not rev hp. look where they make the maximum power 140 ft/lbs of tq @3500 and 125hp @ 5500 rpms (f22a1). i bet i can get my engine up to 180-190 hp with an increased CR, and somehead work and a few timig changes.
