May 16, 2012 at 11:09 comment added Ali Enayat @David: In my answer to question 2, I mentioned $PA$ in order to highlight the fact that for the same Godelian reasons that $PA$ is weaker than $ACA$, $ACA$ is in turn weaker than $Z_2$. @Carl, $ACA$, being an axiomatizable theory, has many non-$\omega$ models, so your model-theoretic argument for conservativity will not work for such models.
