You can keep it as long as you get the cams that are compatible. Most cams are not compatible with it and the great cams with high lift and long duration for making big power will require you to eliminate it. So no it wouldnt be worth it to go s14 if you are shooting for big power. An s14 motor is good if you just want basic bolt ons they make more than the s13 with mild mods. I have never been impressed with the s14 motors that try to make big power they never live up to expectations.
