i'm sure he meant the sohc zc, which i'm going to take a wild guess you were not aware existed lol. from what i understand its virtually the same as an a6 cam so realistically i don't see it making any appreciable increase in power.

you could swap out the valves/valve springs from the zc head though. if i remember right they are better then the a6 valves/valve springs.

its not EXACTLY the same. and you need to make sure youre using a MPFI ZC cam. the difference isnt much, just a bit more lift on the intake side, so youre better off with the ZC cam.
