debating on witch one. im planing on an a6 bottom end with forged rods and pistons.
around 10.5 comp and a large shot of nitrous.
i hate how u cant cant really adjust the timing if you use a6 dist. on the z6 head, and i dont really know if i want to spend the money on z6 dist. ecu and odb1 conversion harness.
will i really be at that much of a disavantage using the a6 head if i get a cam 3 angle valve job and light port work.

 

you can still adjust timing with that dist.

if you are willing to put that much work into the a6 head the a6 will maybe make a little more thatn the stock vtec i had a a6 and a d16z6 and the z6 was way faster

 

i know that u can adjust it but the holes are egged out so bad that the metal is paper thin and u can only use 2 bolts i just dont really like it like that

tired of every think on my car being getto

honda heads already have 3 angle valve job.
if you're tired of being getto just spend the cash and get the z6 dizzy and jumper harness

 

thanks for all the input.

i have both heads and have used both.
its just with the price of the a6 cams being very cheap would how much of a disadvantage would it be

i have been lookin at some exospeed stuff

it just seems like i might be a bit simpler.

and i was planing on redoing what ever head i do use

 

You can make some get power with the a6 , but u also gotta be willin to sacrifice gas mileage and a lil low end. The point of vtec is to have low end torque, high end hp, and a non-aggressive streetable cam profile for good gas mileage. I have a Delta 272 camshaft in my a6, pulls harder than my buddies a6/z6 mini-me. Best 100 i ever spent.
