the h22 is heavier..... throws off the steering (so it is is pretty good for dragging.... straight line. you know)

now if i were you and you really wanted to do somthign cool i'd make a b20 toy for myself..... i think someone has one for sale here.... b20/vtec they're called, they have a larger displacement (2 liter) and a vtec head from a b16 or b18...... believe me.. sounds like this would be the route for you...
make sure that the block has been rebuilt.. then you're in for some power
