I am not teasing at all. My questions come from a fairly consistent pattern on this forum where many people feel that the stangs have the upper hand. When it comes to the 5.0's they say it's because of weight and wheel size. Whatever.
I was just really trying to ask what are the limitations of the Ford 4 Valve Variable valve timing on intake and exhaust design. It seems that it's a great combo. So I was looking for the knowledgeable people on this site to tell me what the limitations of that design are and why and how the chevy engines are better.
In fact the goal with my 1LE is to make it able to beat stangs. Searching for all answers on how to make the best NA engine, best supercharged engine etc.
Also just interested in engine theory. I love threads where we exchange the knowledge and all learn. 
What is a flat plane crank?

On a flat plane crank, the rod journals are all on the same plane, 180* apart. On a cross plane crank, half are on one plane, the other are on another plane 90* apart.
