No, other than it takes some money to make them powerful.

I have been looking for some sohc and dohc came core motors to get some under my belt.

I don't like the ohc motors, reminds me too much of import shit which to me is getting away from iconic muscle.

Agreed. I hate to say it, but Chevrolet is still building big power with pushrod blocks.

Heck yeah! If I had more time and $ I would have broke in my motor already so I could change the oil and put some boost to it. I have slowly revved it to 6k rpm and it feels like a BEAST!

Had a quick race with a guy on a CBR 600 yesterday. He was blown away when I pulled away from him lol. He started off at a low RPM, so he wasn't in his peak powerband when he hit it, but still I thought it was funny. He came up after and was like "damn that thing sounds crazy" then kept riding. I started off in 2nd gear @3200rpm while already in motion and could only go like 3/4 throttle to keep traction. Went up to about 5800 rpm roughly 55mph.

It was that, or crash into the stopped traffic at the next light, so yeah. I'm running a world class t5 with 3.27's(somewhat long gears) so the race was from approx 25-55mph. As I mentioned above not the biggest victory in the history of the world, but it was my first taste for the power potential of my new engine. I've been staying out of boost and not getting on it at all up until then.

My gearing is very linear
1st ~0-30mph
2nd ~30-60
3rd ~60-90
4th ~90-120
5th ~120-No clue yet

More updates on the Turbo50 built motor. I've been taking my time breaking it in since the weather has been rainy here and there lately plus I work odd hours. Changed the oil to some 15w-40 on Dans recommendation after 300 miles. I was driving around and finally really got on it after driving around town for about an hour. This motor pegs the tach hard! Who knows how accurate the factory tach is, but it pulls hard to 6500+rpm(factory tach says that rpm) can't wait to get it dialed in and down to the track next season.

With Dans pricing vs. machine/motor shop pricing and his experience with many engines built for us that are close to him(I'm 85 miles away each way and still saved a ton of $) I don't see a better option.
