this
more cams just add more unnecessry bulk and weight that could've been used for MORE CUBIC INCHES

This is the only correct answer

Is this it?

>Aardema has done SOHC conversions by building custom cam boxes that bolt to an existing overhead-valve motor's heads. On this LS motor, converting from OHV to SOHC configuration was worth 21 hp with an identical cam profile-and the engine happily revs to 7,000 rpm with no valve float.

>same heads
>same valve profile
>extra 21 HP

pushrods a shit

I had a 94 and it had 16 valves lmao

24 valve DOHC with variable valve timing master race

Enjoy trying to repair anything lmfao

My engine has the SUHC

>Unexpectedly, NASCAR suddenly changed the rules banning ''special racing engines'' and the cammer would not qualify for the circuit.

No. Mopar released the race Hemi, which dominated. Ford and GM complained, then NASCAR told Mopar to homologate the Hemi, by building 500 street Hemi's - which Mopar did.

Ford then developed the Cammer, and never homologated it. Instead, they homologated their own cam-in-block ''Hemi'' 429 (although they called it a ''crescent''). Wierdly, they homologated it in the Mustang (creating the Boss 429), but it was used in NASCAR in the Fairlane.

As to why they never used the Cammer: I think it was simply too heavy. Iron block, overheadcam, big block, right over the front axle, it would've been too heavy for turning. In the dragracing world, it did have good succes for a while, although the cam chains where a nightmare.

How the fuck does a OHC and OHV have the same cam profile?

>fabricate complete DIY cam box
>buy two new cams
>buy new rockers
>buy new lifters
>buy new valvesprings

>only 500RPM more
>only 21hp more

Meanwhile, a decent cam and valvespring upgrade on an LS will get you over 75hp. These ''gains'' achieved by going SOHC are simply pathetic - and they might as well be caused by different lifters and rockers, probably valvesprings too. Also, dyno tests are great, but a DIY cam box will never be as slim as a manufacturer cam drive - and those can already add 2 inches on either side of the engine. Will it even fit in stock engine bays? Aardema makes Bonneville rails, not street cars - the disregard for practicality shows.

0/10

Also, effective valve lift will be different on those two setups, and therefore they cannot be compared. I don't think a custom cam box will be cheaper than a cam swap and some springs/rockers/lifters - maybe even less than an entire new shortblock.

HE DRIVES A FIAT AND ITS DIESEL

>Integra gets DOHC
>But not the Type-S
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Flathead a best

Integra has 2 fewer cylinders, so.... yeah.

Cam profile is valve open, closing, and lift characteristics. It doesn't say anything about the design of the cam.

You can run a hot cam with OHC for even more gains.

My SOHC powered car is faster than any of you fagets lmao

Good, maybe you'll hit the next tree hard enough that you die. Straight roads are a bitch, huh?

You can change as many gears as you want while you stare at my tail lights

You mean the curb? There was no tree.

>drag """racing"""

See me on the toegay.

>cams instead of flingy triangle stick

some people got it right 40 years ago. others are still arguing about who is more wrong

Implying nissan creates their engines

You amuse me.

Bmw?

i never understood what the big deal with any of this shit is?
like who cares what mechanical layout the internals of one's engine are arranged in

it baffles me

>Not having four camshafts per cylinder, one shaft for each stroke

>just a fucking Honda

Must be super reliable, that Italian diesel.

R..r..right senpai

It's okay, not great. Enough to break traction if I dump the throttle on my shit tires but still not fast.
The sound is about what you'd expect from a mainline V6, too. Nothing special.

The VG30E is a good engine, don't make fun of me.

4-3-1 manifold

It sure is faster heading to repair shop.

Wtf is this car? Volvo?

>Cam profile is valve open, closing, and lift characteristics. It doesn't say anything about the design of the cam.
Cam profile is the exact side profile of the cam, therefore, it's says everything about the design of the cam. You can describe a cam profile by using terms like lift, duration, and overlap, but it still doesn't give a 100% complete picture, for that you need the exact mathematical profile.

>You can run a hot cam with OHC for even more gains.
Sure, but you can't convert an OHV to OHC and still expect meanful gains for anything cheap. It's cheaper to just upgrade existing valvetrain components.

>factory mechanical injection
Meh.

>aftermarket mechanical injection
MUH DICK

I dont get why transverse engines are a bad thing. Less parasitic loss on fwd vehicles, usually easier to work on.

Yes Volvo. That's why they stamped a Mercedes logo on the valve cover.

>>SOHC

yes. and?

>usually easier to work on.
Maybe if it's a fucking pleb-tier I4, anything with two banks of cylinders is nightmarish in a transverse configuration

>mfw climbing on top of the fucking engine itself to do plugs

>two banks of cylinders

PFFHAHAHAHAHA

>Non vvt/vtech sohc
Why did honda do this in early 2000s while almost everything had vvt by then.

Its an acura bro, they muffle the hell out of them, but with a good catback, they sound wicked.
