My bad I shouldnt say its the blacksheep of K engines but I deff think its the worst out of the high preformance Ks (K20A, K20Z1, K20Z4 etc) hell even the older K20A2 I thought had a better feel to it than the K20Z3. Just my personally opinion however tho the K20A is easily the best in my mind.
can you explain what about the A is so much better than the Z3? all you've said is that the A is better, and haven't given much to support it. i'm not looking to start a fight, but i'm curious why you like the A that much more than the Z3. :happy0180:

according to wikipedia, it looks like the main difference is the A has Vtec on intake and exhaust cams, whereas the Z3 only has vtec on the intake side. i'm not as familiar with the A, so if there's something more substantial than that, please tell me.
