What's the point of using pushrods anymore when OHC weighs less and makes more power?

pushrod cucks are delusional

.

>can't win a race against a OHC car with more power

FUCK OFF ALPHONSE/PREZO/TAXI/SOVIET WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU ARE!

alphonse made the thread. he an and taxi are the same person
soviet is a loser that prezo broke back in the toc sticky
prezo is hilarious.

>he an and taxi are the same person
Wow, so that whole lovers quarrel long ago was just him debating with himself. S A D!

And him having a romantic internet convo with himself... DOUBLE S A D!

lol they couldn't defend this

re

this is a meme

Wait, so was C-power/ Dr.C etc. an Alphonse imitator, or was he an alt?

"C" or "the Cancer that is killing Veeky Forums" is soviet

As much as I'd want one, Hartley v8s start at $35k lol.

DOHC weighs more dumbass, not less.

>Ford 3.5l EcoBoost DOHC V6
>700+ hp
>400 lbs

>GM LT4 6.2l supercharged pushrod V8
>650 hp
>529 lbs

>DOHC weighs more
????????????

>3.5L v6 twin turbo weights less then a 6.2L v8

really makes you think

yes, and it makes more power and doesn't overheat after a lap
there's two possible conclusions here, either DOHC twin turbo V6s are better if you're building a lightweight track car or GM's engineering team is utterly incompetent

You're a fucking retard. The cars are hundreds of thousands of dollars apart. How are you this fucking stupid?

except the dohc v6 in question makes 650 hp and less torque than the LT4. Idk what animal's ass the other numbers came from.

Also the Ford GT is a more advanced platform on a base level than the corvette z06 (hence no reliability issues as of now). But remember that you could get 4 corvette z06s with one GT :^)

>except the dohc v6 in question makes 650 hp
not in the RXC Turbo R

I'm not really worried about that LS grenading itself after a few 100k on the motor, nor if it spends some time at redline.
it takes a real fucking feat to blow up a pushrod motor, not so much with DOHC.

I see, I thought he got permabanned, but I guess he's still around

Who I'm pretty sure is taxi.
Don't engage with the shitposters you retards.

>it takes a real fucking feat to blow up a pushrod motor
such as driving 6 ( S I X ) miles

HAH, you think mods are actually anything close to competent?

You're right, because in the radical it makes just 600 hp

I was, along with Prezo, the ones who started the GTR vs Corvette meme, back in 2014 or so some autistic tripfag decided to make a dumb tournament, it all went to shit, with the sticky thread reaching 3000 shitposts

good times

I am not an Alphonse imitator as I was here before him, not bashing alphonse tho, he does a great job

sperg more prezo

Whats the point of cams?

Cost.

>two Hayabusa blocks stuck together
I'd rather not rebuild my engine every 50,000 miles.

they're different people you dolt, lol

naked sna

It's really fucking hard to destroy a pushrod engine. They are built to take insane levels of abuse.

Go look up the article about the heavily used 3rd Gen Hemi that some magazine tried to grenade by overboosting it. They literally cranked it WAY past reasonable levels with stock internals except for a cam and it took all of it like it was nothing.

>mfw modern boomers are in this thread right now defending dildorods

Years from now everyone will be talking about engine swaps and you will still suggest an LS swap into anything even if the engine stops being produced and if a lighter, more reliable, more powerful engine becomes available, as long as its not OHV.

yeah we know, fuck off

no not really.

>replies to all my posts
>not obsessed
lol

>people still use camshafts to determine lift
ishygddt

but you are replying to my posts as well stupid

i made this thread moron

you get more control over the air/fuel mixture and how it's dispersed around the cylinder.

and OHC doesn't necessarily make more power. if you remember correctly, the highest horsepower N/A OHC V8 engine is the LS7 in the Corvette Z06, which made 505 horsepower. Meanwhile BMW made a 6.2L V8 called the M159 that made over 560 horsepower.

yeah no shit dumbfuck, the fact is you are still replying to my posts

its like you love being a nigger on purpose lmao

nope. you replied to me initially. sperg more

but i'm not sperging? lmao

Hey guys lets take this weird metal stuff that can take a lot of abuse and harden it some more and with the aid of this black water we can make this shot spin really fast for a long time
Hey this stuff needs to do a certain thing at a certain time while this stuff is spinning why don't we use that metal again to make some rods with weird lobes to make it happen and tie it to the spinning shit and have it only change when this metal rope gets stretched after 300,000 miles because you know metal won't decide it wont want to do something cause its literally tied to the spinning shit

They sound a lot better. Let's be honest, you want an engine made by high test Americans, or one made by manlet cucks who don't get laid until their later 30's?

Pushrods have nothing to do with sound.

For your cuck ears, maybe.

Why did you bump this garbage thread with such an abhorrent post?

Because I could

DOHC has a superior sound

deal with it

That looks like a nightmare to maintain.
