I own both, have run both.

Right now, I actually have a combo of the two. A6 head on a Z6 bottom end for low-compression fun.

yea well i had both too, and 9psi left me with 3 cylinders and a inch wide line from the top back of the block to the front top, the z6 got owned, srp piston stuck sideways but yea, it got 46 miles a gallon in my crx, both were good motors, just less bullshit with the a6, the z6 vtec single cam ---- is weak sauce.

ya I was also interested in how his it the moon and how high can you go on a after market cam. power gains ect. also what would be a safe boost level tuned in a a6. I just swaped one in my 97 civic and am only pushing 9.5 psi right now looking at maybe 12?
