Why SOHC, and not DOHC??
It just been bugging me a bit, but why'd they switch from the DOHC that the 2.0 lancers have, to the SOHC for the RA?...I'd think that DOHC would make it even better, but then I'm no expert on cams, nor on the mivec...

As well, perhaps the wrong place to ask, but is looking to switch the EVO engine to the 2.4 Mivec setup with the turbo, intercooler, etc.?...I would think in the end they'd end up with more power, being a bigger base engine, and the effects that the Mivec has on it....

...perhaps stupid questions, but only 1 way to find out...

Regular Lancers Have A SOHC not a DOHC
the only lancer that is DOHC is the EVO
