Does any one know who has the most powerful SOHC.

How about most power on stock block and most power on built block.

Adam Hutchinson runs a built SOHC putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 rwhp.

He also races it in SOLO1, with many top 3 finishes against heavily modded vettes, vipers, etc.

There is also a guy on the Ka-t.org forums thats is currently building a very tastefully done s14 w/ tons of cool work. And yes he is swapping in a SOHC into the s14 and by the looks of his parts list / intended boost he should be around like 450 to 500 RWHP

There are a few 500+ hp ka24e drag cars in puerto rico.

But yeah, everyone knows the most powerful drag KA here in the states is also a sohc.
