Right now I have a dohc zc with high flow cat, 2 1/4 custom exhaust, Intake, and some other mods that don't increase hp
(I do have an adj, fuel pressure regulator and guage) What do you guys think my next move should be? I want to do something that will give me a good hp boost so that I can really feel it and be happy with it for a few more days jk. So I was thinking maybe I should get a header and get my head done. Maybe shaved 3 thou, 3 angle valve job, port polish and so on. or I could get a header and cams or I could just get nitrous and do the others later. And don't say bottles are for babies cause if that is true I will be a baby sooner or later so I'm just lookin for the best route to take eventually all of these mods and many more will be done, Thanks guys oh yeah and anyone have any input on what kind of header i should get don't say DC

head work and header could give you about 35 hp the cams and header may give you 15 and the nitrous will give you 35 to 75 so it depends on how much of an increase you want to feel. If it was my car I would go with headwork and save the nitrous for when your engine is built and your lookin for a little more. Or in this case a lot more. Nitrous is probably the biggest increase in power you are going to feel ( unless you go turbo) so if it is one of your first mods the others to come are going to feel insignificant compared. So do the head work then cams then think about adding some juice.

Header shouls definately be the next move you do, what else is really up to you, but a good set of cams are expensive so I suggest head work.

dopnt get the head shaved...when you do that you raise the compression, but the easier/safer way to raise the CR is to get diff pistons... i would do the headwork and get a header....just get the headwork done to match what you want in the end (they will do it diff if you plan to use nitrous, or go turbo, or stay N/A) after the head is done, you can do the valvetrain/camshafts and toss the nitrous in anytime  |

I've heard that the ZC is not good with N2O because of the CR but I could be wrong. I voted for cams but then I realized how much they are and now I want to vote for headwork. Eventually your gonna have to play with the cams. It all depends where you want to start.

hmmmm well I can get a good set of cams for $600 canadian is that a bad deal?? I've got the connections down here. I can get the head work done for $600 too and it's all proven work. So I was thinking head work too for the 30 some odd hp boost. Will feel like a new engine all over again. So besides the shitty little 10 hp boost from the cams what are the other advantages to them?  |

Joe No motor is truly good with Nitrous, its just the size of shot you use and whether your bottom can handle it or not. Quickhonda built up his ZC for Nitrous then changed to a turbo after he raised the compression and did all the internals and he still runs like 12 pounds. |

true dat steel I am going to run a 75 shot and i sure as hell won't be good for the engine but my head will be polished I am running zex plugs and will ahve a block guard installed so it will be as good as it gets for my engine well i think the head work is a go I want the hp gain but I'm not ready for nitrous yet ( my motor isn't ready and my wallet isn't either)

I got a never used, never opened, NOS Dry kit with a full bottle for $400 (I payed like $600 for everything...). Well, I need the money. Interested? You can jet for 45, 55, or 65 shots. I even have new 1-stage colder spark plugs as well for the ZC, once again, never used, never opened. I will even throw in 3 gauges for an additional $100 with custom holder (flush mounts where central AC vents would normally be).
Shameless pitch? Mabye... but I need $$$
