BMWRacerITS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Umm...both engines are V8's.

The older engine was a pushrod set-up. Dated technology, but still used very extensively in drag racing and NASCAR. Power is made by displacement. Usually not able to rev as high as an over-head cam engine.

The new Panoz engine is also a V8, but in the over-head cam configuration. Engines are usually lower displacement, and make horsepower through the use of higher revs.
