I wanna put some zc piston in my z6 yes the z6 is all stock. Now i know its going to be at 13.1 compression but iam going to use the stock y8 head gasket wich will take it to 11.1 compression. Now my Question is will i have to run race fuel or just 91octane? After the tune. Will i need a cam or will the stock one work?:biggrin:

I'm not sure if you need a new cam but I do know with that compression you don't need race gas 91 will be fine.

Use the headgasket for the block you're using = Z6 block gets z6 headgasket. Use the existing cam in your cylinder head. I believe the z6 cam is the most agressive out of the d series heads. Maybe doing a slight pnp on the intake manifold. New gaskets would be a good idea too at this time. Maybe a bigger throttle body???
Use arp headstuds! Especially with that compression. Pm7/p29 pistons are so gangster :biggrin:
Next get some headers w full 2.5in exhaust.
This is a quick list but this is how I would do it. Good luck and let us know how the build goes!
