Were you put the cam has no bearing on power or torque curve!!!! Bore, stroke, cam profile ,compression ration, fuel curve and rpms is what determines the powerout put and power curve!!! The OHC simplifies the valve acutuation if you exclude variable valve timeing and it creates a more acurate valve action. It is also easier to prevent valve float when you have fewer things between the cam and valve. The trade off comes in the size of the heads! OHC is also less prone to failure because their are fewer parts to fail i.e no push rods or lifters to fail. The one problem I see with our dodges is that they use hydralic slack adjuster which are just as prone to failure as lifters.
