Wow, all I can say is wow.
This may be the stupidest post I've read in a long, long time.
When you say, "popped da **** out of them",do you mean you broke them and had no choice, or you just felt like ******* your car up with the wrong gears?

Yeah, IIRC the 93's had 3.23 gears but a more aggressive 1st gear to help make up for that.

Someone's pissy, hehehe. I haven't heard so many "jajajaja" since my brasilian friend was in town.
Maybe if you typed actual words (not ALL CAPS) you'd get some respect.
Ok, so you say heated up, how hot? What temp. did the gauge say?
And are you sure the whole engine is an LT4?

The reality of how stupid some other people with f-bodies has dawned on me... Seriously, I thought the only people who did not know how to talk or spell and who always talk **** were Mustang guys.. This changes my perspective.

Why dont you let the car cool down all the way.
Then add water till its filled. Let it run now you know the temp should be at or around 200 degrees.
Next bleed the air out the systmen.
Are your fans coming on? Fuse?
Last is water pump. Ight I cant wear skinny jeans cause my knot dont fit!
