no its not necessary. SOHC is fine. the way that some people think about it, SOHC is better. less moving parts that could mess up. also, the difference in the two isn't all that great.

he is talking the new 06 eclipse i think, and the way I understand it is single cam creates less drag since it only has 1 cam so it has 1 less parts to move. and I always thought that single cam heads were a lil stronger

Ya um they are deff dont have over head cams... theres these things call push rods...

A 4g64 is in no way compariable to a ls1. The only thing that they have incommon is that they are internal cumbstion motor. The ls1 is a freek motor, its all alunimum performance motor with an aweseom tuned ecu(its purpous is to be a performance n/a motor) where the 4g64 is a iron block gas efficent daily driver motor.
