boosted 4g64 8v or 16v head

The big advantage to a 16V Head is the Performance parts availability. Springs, valves, manifolds etc. Big Aftermarket. you also get better breathing.
There is NO aftermarket for the 8V head, (as we all know). Cam Angle sensor stuff is not a problem the 8V head uses one built into the base of the distributor. I eliminated my distributor cap and rotor and have a dual coil setup from an eclipse. You do need an Eclipse ECU though to handle the dual Coil.

Compression Ratio isn't a big deal, I'm using 10:1 with a Turbo motor, what Octane Fuel you use will be a concern.

See above response, If I had it to do over it would have been a DOHC Swap, There is an aftermarket for that head. If you go the SOHC Route then it all one off and you're the engineer/system integrator and have to figure everything out, and suffer the mistakes and end up have an interesting collection of expensive, but useless offerings to the God's of Speed. I already had a bunch of money into the head before I went Turbo
