I expected some grief for my statements. Believe me or don't, I don't care. It's not like I have a history of telling tall tales on here. I've run into very few new V6's and V8's that stock for stock can make the Z look bad or even beat it.

I just don't think the v6's are worth the money. There are PLENTY of fast Quads and TC's absolutely SMOKING the 6 and 8 cylinders. Come on, it's not like it's a stretch to believe. I'm sorry you don't believe me. It's all good.

I know there is fast I4 that eat V6-v8, but what I'm saying is Power vs Money spent the bigger cube will get the upper hand. that's why I said use Forced induction and use the breathing power of the Quad. N/A is awesome but it gets expensive very Quick to be competitive vs a V6. I'm not bashing you SGR, just having a friendly chat on a forum.

I'm not worried about the cost, I just wanna surprise ppl when I beat them and they are scratching their heads and then I pop the hood

So speed shops are foundry's now? :lol: Nobody on here has any blanks dude. The only person the MAY have blanks that MAY actually sell them to you is Jeff (Draftinwitjr) on the quad 4 forums. You got a grand to spend on blanks and another infinite amount of $$$ to spend on forms and tooling to have more made? :ROFL: Sorry if your a closet millionaire and I'm offending you right now, but otherwise godspeed homie, may the force be with you or whatever? ughh :bad: :unknown: %)

Just run the HG2's as-is. What are your supporting mods you plan on doing with these cams?

probably the intake manifold, header, and 2.5" exhaust with probably a series 44 flowmaster not sure yet, and when I get a chip burnt specifically for the upgrades I do will I loose the lope of the cans in the quad forums I heard of some people loosing the lope of the cams getting a chip for them

What about the intake manifold? The one and only $500 header and 2.5'' exhaust, ok... I don't know what you're talking about losing the lope, it's not going anywhere. A chip matching the mods will make the car run better, that's what you want, and that's the point of modding it, is it not? So you're going to run a stock head and stock internals? Good luck with that... You're going to have $1,500+ in just the cams, header, and exhaust.

Not sure on the intake yet but definately a header and exhaust, I'm gonna run the stock w41 head with hg2 cams, and stock internals, but I'm gonna check the main and rod bearings first to make sure the cam doesn't need cut down a bit and while I'm at it I'm gonna throw some arp rod bolt and arp head studs in it, and if the crank needs cut I'm not sure if I should have it rebalanced with the rods or not

Better running car > Better lope, that's what you want! Also, there is no such thing as a W41 head.
