I got the same exact setup. It has good pwr BUT, tranny sucks, to long of a gear. I am gonna go boosted anyway but if your gonna go n/a I recommend Si tranny off top. When I shift from gear 2 gear it drops way below my powerband. but when it does get to pwr band it pulls cool...

If you keep your original head and swap bottom ends its a bolt on affair....if you use the y7 hed your gonna have to swap dizzy guts. I just did this to my car but I kept the z6 head I had from my mini me swap. I just happen to see that during my research. GL.
