Cam swaps are becoming a thing of the past with the performance potential of DOHC with variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust. You can have a smooth idling, mileage friendly V8 one second and an all out high hp high screamer the with a wicked idle the next all thanks to independent valve timing and probably reason why domestic push rod engines get stuck with cylinder de-activation and gas guzzler tax's while DOHC power plants don't. GM has stuck to push rod V8's for one reason....... MONEY. Theres a reason why supercar builders like Pagani have AMG engine's.
