What are the advantages and disadvantages of I-head engines? From what I understand you can only pull 2/3 the torque out of an I-head engine as a DHOC engine of the same size.
Why would you?

Because a DOHC engine will never be the same size.

Look at a LS V8 compared to a VW 4.7l V8. The LS is physically smaller and puts out more power more reliably. DOHC is a meme.

So the LS engine is a Dual Head Over Cam engine, right?
DOHC has better throttle response, though. That's not something that shows up in a spec sheet, but it's something you'll notice when you drive it. And no, throttle response is not how fast the car accelerates when you put your foot in it.
