SOHC KA = 15ºBTDC
DOHC KA = 20ºBTDC

OT!!

Which leads me to believe that nissan was stupido for building the DOHC engine. They have a claimed 10 horsepower over the SOHC...but if you bumped the compression to what the DOHC has and up the timing 5 degrees, you'll find that extra 10 horses out of the single cam. All they had to do was re-design the cam for better high end.
