hey everyone, i have a zc mini-me with a d16z6 vtec head.... valve train is the only thhing performance i need now so i would like to have everyones opinion on which valve train packages have the best and most dramatic horse power gain.... all help is appreciated

 

Since when do you get horsepower from an aftermarket valvetrain on a stock engine?

 

yah valvetrain upgrades are considered a safegaurd against valve float when using high lift and duration cams.

the cams are what determine whut power u are gonna get

You might get mircoscopic amount from less wieght in vavle train.
The cam is the mechianal brain of the motor, you'll have to upgrade your cam as well.

Also a better valve train will be part of spinning higher for larger cams, most larger cams only make higher rpm power.

OP Is the head all stock? If not whats in it? What are your goals out of it?

 

well..... for everyones well being, my engine is NOT stock!!!! anyways I KNOW that the cam is where the horse is, although I NEED TO KNOW WHICH VALVETRAIN PACKAGES ANYONE AND EVERYONE HAS HAD THE BEST WORK WITH, I NEVER ASKED for someone to go and put words in my mouth and say i have a bone stock motor trying increase my horsepower by replacing my valves and springs.... so if anyone can recomend a valvetrain for a NON-STOCK motor i would highly appreciate it

 

You should match the manufacturer of your cam and valve springs. They're designed to work perfectly together. Example, I have a Comp Cams cam and matching valve train. You won't get any horsepower from it, though.

 

Supertech for the win. srsly.

wow.....

I weep for humanity.

You'll want to match drivetrain parts as 91siz6 said. Not always is it just matching brands but making sure your springs etc will take the lift and rpm of the cam you pick.
