hey guy's planning on building up my z6 just wanting to know what all u guy's out there got...i all ready got semi built head from 'emerika' thank's man and i have something in mind, but just wanting to know what u guy's have done to ur's and what r some time's if an..... remember it has to be realiable because it's gonna be daily driven...oh yeah my focus is mainly on the block

thank's in advance

p.s. couldn't find anything in search

 

Why is your focus mainly on the block? If you build a high performance engine, just doing block work will not allow you to increase power potential unless you go to higher compression pistons, or something real expensive like a stroker kit. I suggest having the head ported as well as a good valvetrain and some good cams. Even if you plan on boost, you will be able to pull good horsepower numbers with less boost if you put a lot of focus on the engines airflow.

 

i think the head might already be ported.. as for the block. i would personally look at the srp 10.5:1 compression pistons and see if you can match them to shotpeened ls rods. get new rodbolts, clutch and flywheel and you should be in buisness

 

if you are on a budget just go higher compression.I would go like around 11.5/12 though.
If you have money to spend, then you could sleeve with bigger bore and higher compression.

 

Heres a resource you might try...

I don't know why you posted this, Dre

Head's been built.....just no cam.

I'm telling him to go with an Exospeed cam and PR6 pistons in the Z6 block....


this should be a very reliable 11:1 setup with a good flowing head all tuned on Hondata.

Agreed. I believe this setup should do fairly well and won't require anything expensive such as sleeving or forged internals. Go for it.

because i wanted to know what other people has to say about this

 

I agree pr6 pistons are the way to go, stock parts stock reliability.
