its a situation of a 6 of 1 half dozen of the other kinda thing, either one will work great over any other factory D series IM so my suggestion is to use whichever you can get cheaper

This is a hard choice...
if it is your first setup...I would just run a different intake manifold and then boost it with the nonvtec head. Less issues to deal with as far as tuning, wiring,etc.
If you're looking to make the most power out of your d series then I'd run the vtec head. You will make that hp # that much easier.
it is to my understanding that IN STOCK FORM, the z6 head flows the best, while the y8 intake manifold is the best....the setup that i'll be running here shortly in my daily driver crx will be:
a6 block w/ z6 pistions(i busted all of the ringlands in my a6)
Z6 head p&p
y8 intake manifold ported
either a ls or gsr throttle body (i have both i just need to get a micrometer to measure to make sure they are both 58mm or which is bigger )
60/48 t3
arp head studs
should be a decent sohc setup imo... nothing like the ls/vtec though.
anyways i hope my post helped even thought i blabbed on for a while

man everyone says one is better than the other and you will get x ammount of power from each, but ---- man, you could have one tiny issue in anything you buy to make much more of a difference than the different manifold......like tuning or many other things

have YOU ever seen a y7 intake manifold?
