I'd go with the 59300 if I was building a Z6. They also have a 59500, Zex Man was using that in his race car. So you might want to look into that as well.

I fear the ZEX cams though. Seen to many break. Rock a COMP Cams or a Delta.

I will be using Delta ZC Re-Grinds.

i heard regrinds arent good for engines with rocker arms. I'll have to dig up that article on the reasoning behind it. The "zex" cam on ebay was actually made by comp. Anyone actually own an aftermarket cam for a d series?

Well if you get the Zex Cam I would also get a bigger throttle body 60-62mm and I would also look into getting a good intake manifold (I like the edelbrock if you don't want a custom sheet metal). Getting your head to breath a little better will make a huge difference in your powerband, it will also allow you to rev higher, which is always good since our shitty motors redline at 7k.

This thread has some good info in it... http://forums.evans-tuning.com/viewtopic.php?t=92

A lot of people are using that Zex cam too, just search honda-tech for dyno sheets.
