Re: How does the Y8 get 1mpg and 2horses better than the Z6?

same compression ratio, but a better designed head for better emissions.. swirl port design and smaller combustion chambef for more efficient combustion. supposedly the intake and exhaust manifolds are slightly better designed. the cams are the same besides for the timing.. y8 cam in a z6 head throws cam timing off a few degrees.
