is the z6 cam bigger/better that the stock y8 cam? my buddy has a y8 and i have a z6 cam laying around and he wanted to know if it was going to make a diff in his motor. i heard the z6 was a upgrade over the y8 is it true?

thanks

 

Y8 is slightly bigger, but the distributor phasing is different.

D16Z6
Primary 35.900 (1.413")
Mid (VTEC) 38.107 (1.500")
Secondary 36.195 (1.425")
Exhaust 38.008 (1.496")

D16Y8
Primary 36.778 (1.448")
Mid (VTEC) 38.274 (1.507")
Secondary 37.065 (1.459")
Exhaust 38.008 (1.496")

 

the y8 then is better than the z6 ?better in that it gives a bigger combustion thus higher or more HP?

 

worth 2 hp?

 

I'm still new to this.. What do you mean by distributor phasing?

I'm going to be putting in a Z6 cam in my Y8 head since my Y8 Cam is broken.
