An OHV guy finally gets it
 

There's been another of those OHV v DOHC threads going on the OTHER board
in the C7 section. Myself and 5ab have been participating. I posted a pic of my latest dyno results. Well "discomonkey" insists that GM is using OHV because its better than DOHC, while I submit that $$$ has a LOT to do with it.

If you're interested, here's a good spot to pick up the thread:

What's priceless is his reaction when he realizes my motor is a 5.7L.

Interesting. Corvetteforum is blocked again

I wish I had never looked, that stuff is just irritating....I do like how they compare 427 LS motors to a 350

Re: An OHV guy finally gets it
 

He didn't know! He thought I posted a dyno for a 427 LT-5. It was delicious.

These guys kill me, if the ZR-1 was such an epic failure and motor was not up to snuff....why did they name the new "ZR1" what they did? Pretty obvious the ZR1 name is now reserved for the best of the best Corvettes for a reason..

Funny to read the religious argument, not something I even knew existed. I come from a world where the pushrod is considered barely above the wheel, so to see someone arguing about it being a superior design is frankly unbelievable to me. Sure GM has pushed an anachronism way beyond expectations, and just like Porsche's rear engine design, it works far better than it has any right to.

But to argue light weight and lower complexity on ANY reciprocating design is frankly ludicrous. A rotary engine is a 1st round TKO. And when you remove internal combustion entirely, an electric motor drops a nuke on them. Thanks for the morning entertainment!

That's hysterical. I didn't know you were French GC! :sign10::sign10:

Lee,

And GM recently copyrighted LT-5 too. I don't have any expectation but just sayin.

Two Strokers???
Simple with good power!

I like my Z06, my ZR-1, my three Duramax's and even my strate 6.

The V6 is a waste low torque; needs a turbo!

The truth be known I like all cars and trucks; I don't care who makes them.

I want them all!
