However, how many more B16's do you see built over a Single Cam?...A lot more, and still suck with torque. I also dont know where you came across that number of 170hp for a B16a, but that looks more like the B16B out of the CTR. Oh well, im not starting a battle over better motors....Its all personal preference, do some research, and figure which one you want more.
