Hmmm.... Wonder why they went to OHC if they didn't plan for
higher revs.
You know the HP is in the revs. With normal aspiration, you can get
just so much torque, so the only way to get the HP up is to get that
torque at higher speeds. OHC and DOHC seem to be one way of eliminating
a major problem of high revs, valve float. (although with my lead-foot
driving I've rarely encountered it with stock valve gear other than the cam).
