twin springs(similar to the sbc) gt40 upper&lower
K&N cold air intake
ceramic shortys
magnaflows(I dont think the mufflers change anything)

CAM INFO

Well if you are looking from something a little race but still street-able look at LUNATI or COMP for your needs. The other thing you need to watch is the firing order. Older 5.0l use a 1,5,4 (ECT), the HO use the 351 1,3,7 ECT firing order. You also need to change the lifters (pushrods optional). Hydraulic or solid roller, I would got mechanical solid roller but that's me. Go with a .580 or less lift with a good duration of .288 @.050. There is so many good options so think about what you want the engine to do. The solid roller is going to be a little more race and hydraulic is a little more street but can have valve float. I drag race my 89 mustang and I run a lunati LUN-51020LUN with this cam and my blower I am making 991 HP and 864TQ. When I build engines for my customers it is important that I understand what the engine will be doing. The cam is the brain of the build and will dictate engines overall performance. If this is an 84-93 MAF engine this cam should be great LUN-61011.
