GM didn't really take full advantage of the OHC on the Northstar.
MB's 5.4 supercharged engine makes the same power with 1.0 more liter. Not saying it was a sad engine, its a monster, but the Northstar is somewhat still relivent considering its a 15 year old design....
The new Ultra V8 should bring the GM OHC V8's up to spec with the new BMW and MB V8's.
