I have the July 2005 issue of over rev magazine. On an apparent 60-shot of a wet nitrous system. The sohc KA they used put down 211hp/4000rpm and 286Tq/3800rpm. When in doubt use nitrous! Then again, this isn't daily driven hp either. There are reasons that smoe engines just aren't as developed as others. More often then not, it's cost associated with bringing out the hp people want, and the likelyhood that it would be reliable. For example the mazda6 that race in speed TC have engines that are more overly built, just to make 270hp to compete with the TSXs and 3-series in that class. They had to bend their own rules in order to make it competetive. You could think of the KA in regards when comparing it to honda/toyota/bmw 4-cyl engines. Simply put they are not comparable.
