    lol... for some reason i like them much better than the DOHC as well...:-)

    i think they are cheaper to get parts for and there seems to be more things you can do to them for way less than the DOHC's...:-) and it depends where you want your power curve... With the SOHC setup you get better torque to get out of the hole quicker but the DOHC has the top end speed...:-)

    i just like em cause of the powerband, they suck on the lower end, which makes it good for a lil sleeper.
