There was a nice article in Road & Track about the Camaro SS pushrod engine vs. the DOHC 5.0. Check it out, it's a good read: http://www.roadandtrack.com/auto-news/tech/rival-vees
In their saying "No replacement for displacement," just immagine if you took a 460ci big block and employed all the variable technology into it. The big block will not just make 700 crank BHP, but it will make just as much crank torque and hold that torque all the way from 2K to 7k+ RPM!

That was a great read, thanks for the link. It was educational without going into too much technical speak and it summarized it all concisely.
