Exactly what was making over 375HP in 1990 and over 405HP in 1993? The only thing that I can think of that comes close for the money is the 1992-1995 Dodge V10 Viper engine.

Some one should tell Ford, Ferrari ,Porsche, MB, BMW, Audi, and the rest about how a pushrod engine is a better design . Other than the fact that OHC, and DOHC are more expensive , complex and harder to work on and have shorter service intervals they just plain work and make big power. I am a fan of both OHC and pushrod engines ,and now only own pushrod V8's. Bottom line is head to head Cubic inch to cubic inch a modern DOHC engine can rev higher and make more power than a pushrod engine, while meeting EPA requirements . What GM has done is maximize the pushrod engine and done an excellent job of it . As always I am a GM customer ,but I can see the future .And in the future B4 electric cars take over all together GM will go to smaller cubic inch engines with OHC's . Lets hope the horsepower wars never end .
