that DOHC gives u ~60hp more... even with a less efficient transmission... you should have him... especially if u guys are both stock... he may pull a little off the line... b/c he's hauling around less weight... but only ~200lbs less... if either one of you has a heavy ass system in the car, drop it out first... (I used to do it all the time... quick connect terminals... and shit... I'd have my buddy with an Aveo 5-door (wagon) follow me to the races... I'd be in 2nd race... that'd give me enough time to slip the box outta the back of my car into his... and whip some ass... any extra weight like that will slow u down...

but DOHC definitely has more oomph if u r both stock (for that matter if each of u had the same mods, the DOHC would still benefit more than the SOHC)... the intake on the DOHC allows it to breathe easier... and the extra camshaft gives that extra NA oomph... so I think u got him... not even counting any gain from the K&N
