Which head will make the most power from a d16z6?
Is there a better OEM head that will make more power on my z6? I don't want to replace the block if I dont need to, but I did hear that an a6 block and a z6 head will make more power.

That is because the A6 has a slightly shorter deck height. You could mill the Z6 head or block and get the same effect.
The Y8 head has a bit higher compression, and quench pads to help prevent detonation, but the Z6 is said to flow a bit better.

Stick with the Z6 if you can if it's not Vtec then just get a Vtec head. You don't wanna change heads and all that stuff for maybe a extra 1-2 hp gain and maybe 1-2 ft tq. The Z6 is the best to stay with unless you just get a completely different motor swap. What kind of car is this going into.
