when you're talking about a "fully modded" engine it doesn't matter really which one it is....

The D series is good to turbo cuz the blocks and STOCK parts are cheap and readilly available... once you're talking about aftermarket parts.... the D series pieces are probobly MORE expensive than B series because they're not as widely used or bought... you can find deals on B series aftermarket rods and pistons because LOTS of dudes buy 80% of what they need for their dream build and then give up or run out of money and sell it for less then they bought it for....

Also when it comes to ALL OUT builds... the series doesn't have ANY effect on the outcome... It's all in the build... sure if you slap pieces A B and C on a D and do the same to a B the B will have more power... but look at bisi's D15... it WAS the fastest all motor civic out there... till he built an F series... now (or at least a couple of months ago) THAT was the fastest civic... so once you delve into built engines there's really no inherent advantage or dis-advantage to a certain motor just because of it's series...

Any shortcomings of a SOHC (Seperately tunable exhaust and intake cams) can be COMPLETELY compensated for with a custom desigened cam (1 custom cam can generally be had for not much more (if not less than) a SET of b series cams) Then at that point you actually have an ADVANTAGE being SOHC because there's less weight and less moving parts.
