B18B has 13HP more than a SOHC Y8 but it makes worlds more torque and a better powerband.

Those LS hatches must have been piss slow or they had some shitty drivers for a SOHC 1.6 to beat it :dunno:

You must have had a freak single cam. A B18B EG will run low 15's high 14's. No Z6 or Y8 SOHC will run that in a hatch with bolt ons.
