    yeah DOHC has top end just because of the motor engineering. however, given the right cam you can have all the top end you want with a push rod motor.

    true but dohc is more sophisticated lol, im acting like a gm exec, dont pay me anymind. they cancelled the future direct injected dohc v8s(northstar on steroids) because the newer cam in block motors are light years beyond the old pushrod motors and are way more cost effective than the dohc motors. they even changed the name from pushrod to cam in block lol. i just like the dohc sound, but i like ohv to. i have no preference just make it fast and ill love it.

    im still pissed at the fact pontiac is no more, but since they did that will the value of our cars go up? it will always be the best bang for your buck car ever made imho

    back on topic
    if every member gave me a dollar i could get all of this done
