This is like the argument about whether a man or woman is stronger. Amusing when you're talking in a relative sense, but when you reach the literal extremes, there's no contest. Not that there's anything wrong with that,and I mean this in the nicest possible. way ....

Any DOHC motors making 6,000+HP?
There are cam in block motors doing it.
Does T/F hemi mean Top Fuel? I just saw one with the valve covers off and I couldn't see one cam let alone two under the valve covers.
The C5R and the Viper both ran at LeMans.They both use cam in block.

You are being nice.
Yep, Top Fuel and Funny Car 6000 hp engines are based on the old pushrod Chrysler hemi. Of course the C5R and Viper are also pushrod engines.
Watch the 24 hrs of Daytona starting today (1/31). Quite a few pushrod engines. Some are DOHC. Either could win a class.
Indy cars (IRL & CART) do have DOHC.

...a bad design that is easily capable of 800rwhp on a completely stock motor.

All I have to say is DAYUM :-)
A little story a few months back. I was at some races somewhere (cant say where lol). I had a ricer come up to me and say "Wow does that have a cam in it?", I said "yes they all do" laughing. He said his buddy has a supra that can beat me blah blah blah. He said why you running that old technology motor man? I make over 2 HP/lter etc.. Supra makes over 2 also blah blah blah. I was like whatever, my other friend was like tell you what have your buddy bring his high tech ride along tonight and I will go home and get my low tech ride, and we can run for 500 bucks that you have to bring upfront.
32V blah blah blah BPU+ Supra
vs
Henessy 800TT Viper with Upgraded Turbos and tuning
Supra lost soo bad it was like a stock LS1 racing a Stock Civic.
At the end of the race buddy said "So how did you like the Low tech with twin turbos vs the High tech with twin turbos?"
Enough said
