depends on how much u wanna spend i personnaly would get the sohc vtec cause u can get parts more easier than the zc. also if i were to pick between sohc vtec or dohc vtec i would deffinetly get the dohc vtec if my money was tight.

Re: Need ur opions on motor guys

for aftermarket support, you cant beat the SOHC VTEC. Parts and availability are second only to B series.

With the DOHC ZC, you still have some aftermarket support, but certain things, like aftermarket camshafts, you are stuck with custom regrinds.

Overall, they are pretty much equal and it all comes down to your preference.
