I'd have to aggree with mrshin as well.
Again, i do like my 4A-C. Nice economical (for its time) reliable engine. But as mrshin points out, its designed for a perpose. To be a an economical round town engine.
The 4A-GE was designed to be a sporty engine right from the early 80's. So it has many small but important things built into it form the start. Better head, cams, pistons, rods etc.
Sure, you can mod a C and get a repesctible level of power out of it, but at the same time, you could drop a stock GE in and get much the same. Its be proved time and again, a stock engine will be more reliable than a moded engine. So if you can get an engine that puts out the power you want in stock form, why mod a lower spec engine up to that power level?
Sure, there are plenty of things you can do to a C to get more out of it, but you will reach the limit of the single cam head long before you would reach the limit of the twin cam. Also, for the same effort and money on a twin cam, the results will be far more rewarding.
On the flip side tho, when i do my 20V conversion, i will be keeping my 4A-C because of its reliability as a spare.
Craig.
