Horsepower is a determinant of how fast a car’s engine can really be. The higher the horsepower, the faster the vehicle will go. Torque is the total amount of pounds that the engine puts on the wheels.
A SOHC makes it harder for the engine to reach higher revolutions per minute, or RPM's since it only has one cam. A DOHC gets twice the compression because both cams work together on the upstroke and down stroke.

Folks...sad to say, it gets even better. The mastery of car knowledge and grammer is beyond my own comprehension. I love how they put "dubs" in quotes to explain Twenties as if Twenties was the appropriate terminology for a term paper.

How freaking WRONG can she be????
"The process of an RPM works like this: Air goes into the intake.
As the cam opens, and the as the piston is going down, it will fill
the cylinder with a combination of gas and air. The valve then
closes, then the spark plug fires, and the gases inside the
cylinder explode. The piston starts coming back up and
compresses the gases, turning the crank causing the exhaust
valves to open and release the gases to the exhaust manifold.
This is one RPM. "

LOL @ SVT_KY...and to think all this time I thought ignition occured at top dead center 
those bio pages really put the "essay" into perspective...lets not forget everybody that this is a fat chick. just as fat chicks wear belly shirts and think that they are hot, they may also think that Civics and Integras are fast
I love cars and I run my Type R in 14.8 seconds at 99 mph in the quarter mile.
