i have heard that but the z6 head needs a valve job and i just shelled out a lots of moeny and had the block rebuilt for boost and its not even in the car yet lol so i didnt know if the timeing on the y8 head would be off cause i thnk the y8 cam is a little more arrgesive? but i could be wrong

umm, i think you should be ok..not 100% but i dont see why not. worse case scenario...have someone drive you to autozone and rent the timing gun.
