But isn't the torque curve also dependent on the turbo? S14 turbos are t28 vs. redtops are t25. Here's my suggestion to you, what is your hp goal? if you plan to upgrade turbos later anyways, go with s13 because it's less expensive. Also, if you plan to upgrade cams, then s13 is better because s14 SRs wont' retain VTC after cam switched. So basically it all depends, you can't really say one is better, beecause it's all about your budget and future goals. Hope it helps.
