here's the thing. he said that hes using the sohc block and the dohc head. and if i read it right in the forum faq then the sohc engine has more torque. so that would be like(forgive me for using the "h" name) using the lx integra block with the v-tec head. more torque. so wouldnt it be better to use the sohc head. if not what are some piston sugestions? i want a n/a ride(total sleeper) what about the pistons from a miata???? does anybody know what year miata pistons would fit my block and raise compression or a performance website that i can find high comp. piston sets for my block?
