you will notice a very nice difference with down low tq however it wont be making as much power up top... its a give and take thing,,,

 

The sohc's powerband is pretty much 1500 Rpm to 5800 Rpm. If you have a 95 SOHC the cam makes a huge difference on this motor and is pretty impressive on the low end, my 95 motor had alot more ***** on the low end than my 98 did but the 98 would take most of the cars in its class in a race.

I have a cold air intake and chikara header without a catalitic converter and the power this thing makes is pretty good even with an automatic, it will burn out no problem and actually gets nasty in the rain lol. I am making a pvc intake to give me a 8-10hp boost and it will be nice.

 

whats that?


EDIT dumb question i was thinking PCV intake

 

I had to reread my post just to make sure I didn't put "pcv" intake lol

 

I don't know for sure but I've heard that you don't want to use pvc for anything that gets very warm, lets off noxious fumes, can't be good for a/f ratio and sensors. I can't confirm this though, maybe someone smarter then me will speak up.

the sohc is a pooch in the upper rpm range....
if you spend most of your time about 70mph then you wont like it

 

ahhhh man oh well, ya know i guess who cares cuz of this $4 a gallon for gas so, as long as it gets me to point A to point B il be good, i need ta save for the lexus lol

 

I beg to differ mine suprised the hell out of me, I barely tap the gas and I can hit 100mph without trying much and without beating it. I have a atx and it didn't even break a sweat. You must have driven a sick sohc, even my sohc withmelted rings had no trouble getting up to 90mph.

Besides the sohc makes more power in a normal powerband than a dohc does, so 3,000 rpm on the highway is right up the sohcc's ally for power more than a dohc at that rpm!

 

every sohc ive ever driven (manual or auto) has sucked from 80mph to the rev limiter....every single one of them...
the dohc has never let me down yet

 

still in third gear at 80 in my neon. I never road in a dohc. But my sohc wooped all the other sohc neons in town. Only good race in my town was integras. I can only beat them half the time. They are fast. Specially those gsr ones. Kid had one of them all done up, I swear he was going 50 in first gear. I want to race a neon dohc. I think they are talked up alot.
