z6 vs y8

iam building both a y8 and z6 head right now on seperate cars and i noticed the y8 combustion chamber is the crappiest design ever. the y8 head is just hot spots waiting to happen. but yeah i know my d-series info and i know the y8 is what they all want for the 11.1 comp. but jesus the cc is so restrictive i cant belive it. but yeah just wanted to start a friendly conversation on theroy of ccs.
here is a question.
if you took forged pistons to produce identical compression ratios in a Z6 and a Y8.
obviously the Z6 would have a more radical domed piston.
Which do you think would have more potential for power? Say if both had porting done to the same extent and both had the same zex cam with valvetrain package etc.. and both had everything else identical.
would the amount of power be produced be more apparent in compression ratio from pistons or cylinder head design?

oh my bad well your question doesnt seem real clear but put the 2 motors side by side make everything else equal except the cylinder head combustion chamber then I would have to say the y8 would make more power youd be able to advance the timing more and also have better valve to port angles so if both were of the same obd denomination then Id say the y8 would make more power.
