Enjoy the site...spend some time and you'll find the site covers SO many aspects of mustangs you can litterally find a forum section to strike up a conversation on near anything . The 5.0 Tech section is FULL of informantion available with the search button, and the 5.0 talk section is full of good people to interact with. Post a pic, ask a question....oh and watch out for Dman....we all think he's crazy.

Welcome aboard....there are countless lists of what modifications to do, a little hunting around and you will find them.

People love to see pics, so when you get a chance post some so we can all see what you have.

Welcome to our humble forums. Is this new '88 5.0 a Notch, Hatch or Vert? If it's a Notch, it must be handed over to the "Stangnet Notch Preservation Society" for inspection and drooling upon. ASAP OMG LOL :SNSign:

Welcome. Have some subframe connectors welded into that bad boy before you start any other mods.

Id say heads and an intake since you already have a cam. Heads and an intake will make the cam work to its full potential.

heads really depend on what u want to do to the car later! like u wouldnt want to buy 2 sets of heads cause u wanted more power later. id say if u plan to mod later then go with AFR 185 or a similer head size and if u dont plan to do more then go with AFR 165 ot TFS TW heads!

avoid the CAI market...you will find the fox body mustangs use an excellent CAI setup in stock form. Ensure the silencer in the fenderwell is removed and get yourself a K&N panel filter for that stock air box. The money you save on the CAI will be better spent on mods that actually make power for ya....there are PLENTY of those to be found. Again the search button in TECH holds an absolute wealth of info on parts that users have experience with and can give you some background not only on the performance aspects, but what to expect for the install as well.

+1 on supporting the cam - also get those subframes welded with some subframe connectors to make sure you dont want anything tweaking that isnt susposed to be tweaked
