Oh and also why go through all the trouble of a swap just to put a twin cam ka in it and gain like 10 hp that doesen't make any sence it's like throwing money and time away

The twincam KA is way way stronger than 10more hp.
My stripped 89 coupe has one of the only sohcs that hasnt blown up yet.. Its prob the fastest sohc around for having a stock exhaust wtih a fart pipe (compliments of bill). I can run 15.9. But against my PIG heavy not reliable HICAS the hicas pulled it on the highway.
Twincam > singlecam by WAY more than 10HP

its like 10 horsepower by nissans ratings. its like 35 horsepower to the wheels and 50 ft lbs of torque.
and its about 100k more miles in terms of reliability and 250 more hp worth of reliability.

I've gone through a KA but I believe its just rings. Just a little oil burnage James Bond style. All will be fixed soon enough however. 
BTW: this is the DOHC one. UPGRADE to one, you'll be happier!

Am I the only one who loves the single cam? Mine has 150k miles on it and it runs like new. I mean, the only way i know my car is on when I'm stopped is from the rpm needle. Of course, it does help that I maintain the engine with oil changes, coolant changes, sensor checks/replacement, seafoam and I keep it hella clean. I drift the hell out of it too though. Maybe I got one of the only good ones. All I have is a header, test pipe, muffler and intake. I have pulled on many dohc 240's even with full interior. If I blow my engine I'll probably go for another single cam. Good luck with whatever you do.
