On paper, the b16a is the superior engine, on flat surface or up a hill. Who cares if you can go up a hill in 5th or not....what are you trying to prove by doing so? i know if i hit a steep incline, its back to 4th or 3rd.
The ZC has potential...sure...after mods it can go quite well (props to Dean at ART who once owned the blacksheep EG). But the b16a can be taken so much further.
