none at all, infact its a waste of time. just port and polish the stock head toss in a set of webcam camshafts, cam gears and a VCT delete and have fun.

I think using the Focus head is better, you have more choices for the exhuast cam when it comes to aftermarket cams. If you're going to delete the VCT you don't have to do anywork what so ever to the head so there's no nead to buy the VCT delete bolt and spacer.

I'll still be looking for one should I decide to keep my car.

but you will have cam position sensor issues and EEC issues.

the cams avaiable are fine, webcams also does custom grinds.

For a boosted Z the stock zx2 cams work tit.
