    im not sure what your asking.... all your saying is what i stated is not true and you only quoted half of what i said... maybe water will help you swallow that... here are basic knowledge stats: ls1: 315hp, better geared trans, higher c/r almost 10;1, better ignition, 6100rpm, better fuel...

    i agree with the 5.0vivct motor is awesome period and will eat most everything up and thats not the argument im making at all.... 5.0ViVCT < LS1/2/3 definitely... oh and as for GM small dis motors back in the day when trans am racing was happening the z28 w/ DZ302 motors ate up trans am...

    i dont see how you can say a 10 bolt would pop by 30 feet.. granted its not a very strong rear, but there are guys who push single leg 10bolts that are 20+ years old with over 500hp and its fine..... 8" hoosiers on my stock 10bolt did fine. and you deff can mod a SBF to get over on a stock ls1...

    very true... but if youd put hoosier 8inch slicks on a stock f body 98-02, it will run deep 11's.... so yea a 400hp stang is equal to a stock ls1/2.... my point exactly!..

    btw the ls1 is a motor produced since like 1997... the new 5.0 w/412hp is a brand new engine.... and just to upgrade to the boss 302 package costs more than what i bought my camaro for.. lol i mean, engine specs and hp numbers are only part of the equation... chassis, weight, gearing, tires...

    what heads cam. . .

    said might in the first place because i own both... my stang isnt near 400hp but my ls1 99z28 with stock ls6 heads/intake/tb and street suspension/tires eats up 400hp STREET stangs all day... now if you put track slicks/weight reduction on that same 400hp stang of course youll beat a stock...

    96 PBR CALIPERS ON MY 88FOX

    i dont think these are 'standard' brakes for a 96... when i searched the numbers i put up there it came back as like a cobra brake from some years like 94-04 or some thing.. but these ones i picked up are two piston aluminum calipers... alot bigger than fox ones... by not standard i mean i...

    Timing retard=engine running hot/high NOx?

    you can have you timing advanced up to 12* in cali and still pass if your engine is healthy..... stock is 10* and cali smog allows =/- 2 degrees... so 8* to 12* will still pass smog.. if your running premium gas at less than 12* your just letting the rest of the unburned fuel pass thru the tail...

    no pressure in radiator/doesnt get hot

    good man! i checked out the belt routing on the 88 stang and it was routed to where the W/P was turning CLOCKWISE. i did it like that because i found a diagram on the net to route it like that..... but after searching again i found to another route that works (p/s-w/p-crank-s/p-alt-a/c)..... i...

    thanks for helping me narrow it down..... i am having a little bit of an issue with the cooling system: all is new (both temp sensors, fan clutch, rad, t stat) BUT.... it seems like the system never builds up pressure. i can run the car all day and then right after take the rad cap off and...
