OHV vs OHC: Which is better?

[Unit 5302]

An OHV 2v engine has no advantage over a DOHC multivalve engine in any racing application.

The powerband of the engine can be completely offset by the gearing.

For proof, please run a stock 5.0 with any gear of choice vs a DOHC Cobra with 4.10's.

The 5.0 has substantially more low end than the Cobra, it helps from 0-20 maybe, if you can get traction, but the overwhelming hp advantage of the Cobra will make short work of the OHV engine even by the time the 1/8 mile streaks by.

The answer isn't Ducati is it?
