Default z6 vs y8

iam building both a y8 and z6 head right now on seperate cars and i noticed the y8 combustion chamber is the crappiest design ever. the y8 head is just hot spots waiting to happen. but yeah i know my d-series info and i know the y8 is what they all want for the 11.1 comp. but jesus the cc is so restrictive i cant belive it. but yeah just wanted to start a friendly conversation on theroy of cc's.

i don't know very much about heads... but i thought the y8 head is good because it's square. it helps to ignite the fuel by having a better quench area. i dunno, i just believe what i hear

Yeah, I hear the CVCC head is TBA. Wait for the new FF-Squad site to debut. They all went to 70's Civics with the CVCC engines.
