However, most full on drag motors are pushrods, why is that so do ya think? Cos they breathe better than a twinkie ever will.

i reckon its just cause holden and ford were shit back then and they hadnt learnt about DOHC technology. the 18rg was pretty fuken flash for its time. the good old 18rg went pretty darn well considering it was less than half the capacity of the average V8's for that era.
another reason is because 32 valves and four cams on a V8 is pretty complicated compared to the simplicity of pushrods

I think you'll find the reason almost all of the Topfuel drag cars are 2V pushrod V8's is because noone outside of america is making 7, 8, 9 litre motors. and Since Americans are the only nation producing pushrod motors still, I think it's safe to assume they are backwards.
I'd almost go as far to say that pushrod motors are more complex, since they have pushrods. a twin cam without rocker arms and solid valve lifters is remarkably simple.
