DOHC or SOHC??

RE: DOHC or SOHC??
Stop and think about it for a sec. If you're going to do a cam mod and you've got a DOHC engine how many cams will you need to buy? Ok, now, how many cams will you need for a SOHC engine? Which do you think would be cheaper to build and mod? The only advantage, if you could call it that, of the DOHC engine over the SOHC engine is that you can get adjustable cam gears and tweak the advance/retard of the intake and exhaust to your liking, other then that the SOHC engine is much simpler to mess with. JMHO, YMMV.

IT's totally true, check the prices for yourself.

$260 for the SOHC engine. That's a $170 buck difference. Two cams cost more then one.
