sohc will be a waste unless you build/boost it'

dohc all motor will cost alot..well this is arguable but off the shelf items for an na build are not exactly cheap

dohc boosted will cost nearly as much but make more power'

if it were me personally....sohc motors/parts are generally found pretty cheap...id build the d16 for boost and let the turbo make the power...plenty of solid 300whp-450whp+ single cam slammer's...and in a honda that will be plenty of power..hell i think mike on here is making over 450whp on his sohc d16 motor and possible making 10 sec passes? could be wrong on that but i know he's pulling at least low 11's on his single cam set up

if i were to start all over with the route i went..i would have just built a d16 and boosted it', would have been cheaper in the long run and made as much if not more power than my current set-up is making/is going to make
