Ricer/noob question about ka series engine

[smokin240]

Ok in all honesty, I have seen the specs between the ka24e and de but how much slower is it? I mean 15 hp less cant be that slow plus I know its a lighter engine. Anyone got track times? I just want to know so if I end up getting a sohc its not going to be even slower than the dohc i had.

the dohc ka usually runs about a second faster in the 1/4 mile than the sohc ka.

^ I dont know if the difference is that big, but the SOHC has plenty of potential.

The DE was made from 91-98, so I think spare (used) parts are easier to find. Thats the biggest difference to me...

16.5 dohc 17.1 sohc but the diff in power is becouse of a compression well at least the 89 since it only came with 8.6 against the 9.1 of the dohc.b 12 valves v 16 better breatheing=better power
