its a good way for the sohc guys to bump up to the dohc but the only thing i can see that swap for you being good is if you like to race road course, backroad, or autocross. as far as straight away power your better off with the dohc

The DOHC head flows MUCH better than the SOHC head. Keep the DOHC!!!!
