lt1 DOHC SOHC?

I feel a little dumb not knowing this myself, but i cant find it on any website. Is a 1994 camaro z28 a single cam or a twin cam?

It's not either of the 2 you posted, both of those are overhead cam. The LT1 is a pushrod V8 built on the traditional SBC block, so it has one cam in the block.

Is there any benefit between a overhead cam opposed to one that uses pushrods and vice versa?

RE: lt1 DOHC SOHC?

the advantage of one cam? vs no cam? is that what youre saying? unless you have rotary, you have a cam. over head cam, less moving parts, higher reving, more valves per cylinder
