Default SOHC or DOHC

Ok guys Im just looking for some advice. I recently got a 93 civic hatch with a stock D15B7. Should I stay single cam or should I go to B-Series? I know that the sohc parts are easier and less expensive, but dual cam is always more power. Also, why or why not? Thanx in advance.

Well basically you answered your question, although It will probably take lot more $$ to pump up a D series then a B, so its basically how much you want to spend and do it right. I mean if I had the funds right now I would go DOHC right away but since i don't, SOHC FTW!
