No, it's not. A6 is better, SOHC ZC is about the equivilant. Ask J. Davis about the Z6 his friend swapped in place of an A6 and lost power all over the map.

Re: vtec
Stock Z6 outflows ported Y8.
Now, Bisi would tell you that a larger diameter curved pipe can be made to flow nearly identical to a smaller diameter straight pipe. However, getting someone who knows how to hog the hell out of Y8 ports to mimick this... good luck, guys.
A6 outflows Z6 right up until the smaller intake valves acts as a restriction. Then you upgrade the valves and ---- VTEC. Ask MAX_CFM about this, Minor, I'd trust him on the LS-->ZC valve interchange being subject to bore shrouding, to boot. :P
By bringing in OMG VTEC a little earlier on Atlee's Z6, we were able to get ~4 psi more boost a thousand or so rpms earlier. This is so important, because the pristine super clean low mileage Z6 made noticeably less power than his high mileage ZC that kept shitting #1 rod bearings. This is because OMG VTEC sucks.
