the D15B head is a exact copy of the Z6 head, both are P08 stamped, both have the same cam in them
Hmm, there is some conjecture about this. I personally have both cams and I can tell just by looking at them that they are not the same cam. Both heads are stamped p08 but does that necessarily mean theyhave the exact same flow characteristics?

I'm not gonna argue with you. It's splitting hairs either way, but I have read several opinions that suggest differences.
I dont plan to argue either but it is besides the point when you can slap a good aftermarket cam in it for so cheap. I like a Z6/D15B better than the 6th gen D's simply because they have been alot more predictable for me.

that is the stamp put on the casting from the factory denoting that the head is cast out of the same press
