Default No Hotwires for ZO6???

:confused: Why does it say in some magazines that they cant be used on a ZO6??? is there any particular reason or just never been tested on it? :smash:

Also, what are the downsides/disadvantages to Hotwires? the theory behind them sounds excellent :yesnod:

thanks,
Mongoos :seeya

I read it in MidAmerica. at the bottom of their discription it says "Not for ZO6 application" right after the CARB#

:crazy: :confused:

I dont understand why they wouldnt work on it, I mean the only thing physically different about a ZO6's engine is the intake, heads and cam right??

You are right! Same ignition system (coils), same factory wires. I really am at a loss why Mid America would print that? I can tell you I've made the changes and they are just fine.

There is your answer. CARB certification. They don't want to pay the money to have them recertified. They will work no problem. :yesnod:
