Look for the Zex 59500, it's a little bigger than the 59300. Zex Man was running that in his race car. I guess in your case since you have a Y8 head it would be the 105500?

59300 has been proven over and over....or you could shell out for a little more and get the new 59500 which is supposed to make more power and give you a longer powerband

Why not? They have a 59500 for the Z6. The Y8 gets no love?

Yeah, I was kind of upset when I heard this also. Maybe they will make one if we complain enough. Seems like the Y8 gets the short-end of the stick on this deal.

You can use the 59500 on the Y8...it's the same grind/profile...just have to adjust the mechanical timing accordingly
