settling on '88 5kcstq instead of '91 200 or V8?

Actually I wasn't commenting on the UFO's. I never said I tried, 'em, but I 
explained why I would have worries about them. And I wasn't concerned that 
the ufo's didn't have enough stopping power. In fact they come from racing 
design. My concern is mainly over warpage. I just think you can put a lot 
more force through disc brakes than ufo's w/o warping the brakes. Once that 
happens, it sounds like major cash and other options would prolly just 
cover up any problems till later on.
