2.2 = overhead valve
2.4 = dual overhead cam

DRASTIC difference. That 2.4 is WAY faster, and I would say talk them down a little bite, and if it is modified at all, don't touch it. Modified= been driven hard.

I believe it is about a 35+ horsepower and torque difference, which is a ton!

Yeah, if you plan on speed, definately get the z24. Getting power from a 2.2 is like milking a rock... unless you shell out ass loads of money. I also agree with the modifications. I can see small stuff being ok, just check it over, listen to the engine, check the idle, etc, etc, etc.
