OHC will allow higher revving valve train... perfect for small displacement engines. Twice the revs twice the hp. The Corvette doesn't need high revs when it has large displacement. Almost 3 times that of an L20B. Push rods are good enough below 6K.

Good in theory, lousy in practice. The L-series doesn't rev twice as high as the Chevy V8.

 

The recent pushrod Chevy V8s redline higher than the OHC L-series engine.
