In my opinion OHC has a place in inline engines eg- 4 & 6cyl although I believe pushrod to be just as good eg- A series, hemi six, holden six etc. But I believe it has no place in a v8. I will take the latest australian battle. LS1 vs the boss DOHC. The ls1 is lighter, much smaller for better positioning, makes more horsepower. The good ol pushrod Ls1 can rev its tits off and make more raceable power. Even cammed up fords wont rev. Did I mention pushrods are cheaper.

Plus if I was modifying a engine srew buying 4 cams when I could just buy 1. I do not see 7000hp ohc. The Sainty top fuel engine is and look what a piece of sh-it it is. Work that out for bhp per litre. Some teams say they are about 8000hp now(possibly lying) but that is a whopping 1000hp per litre. What rice crap can match that.

End of my mismatched rant. Coulnt be bothered making proper phrases. I just get frustrated when people are so stubborn and quick to write off a pushrod and saying that a jap engine isn't 7L and makes more horsepower perlitre is just been stupid. Japs intend to make high tech engines to do this whilst the good ol yank engines are of older technology(simpler design) a just go big to get power. And much better power it is too.

Its the end this time
