ok, well im trying to do a z1 head swap in my DD 05 ep3. I got the idea from a friend and im hoping that its as good as it sounds. like we all kno the a3 head only has vtec on the intake cam, and by doing the head swap im hoping i get a lil more power from it. its obvious that by doin the swap ima need to tune it. now, my question is, is doin that head swap gonna give me better/more performance? i kno my compression is low but wud doin the head swap raise it some? and when getting it tuned will i be able to get hire revs and still make power from them?:huh:
and juss putting it out there.. im goin with a z1 head b/c i am under the impression that its a better flowing head:huh: if you recommend any other head i will take into concideration...

thanks for looking..:)
 
The Z1 is a good head, better cams then the A2, but without touching your A3 bottom end you'll still be limited to your stock A3 redline. You will get more power, yes, but the you'll be missing out on the upper RPM's where the Z1 really shines.
