OK, i have a 1988 Mustang LX Hatchback, with a 1988 5.0 Speed Denisty motor bone stock. I did all the swaping for the 5.0. Just one thing left, the 8.8 in the shop is going in this weekend. My question is what should i do for the top end of the motor? I plan on getting some heads (AFR maybe), longtube headers (Flowtech?), cam, upper and lower intake, maybe 100 shot of NOS. I was looking thru my 50resto magizene and on page 62 they have top end kits from Ford Racing, Holley SystemMaxII, and TrickFlow. All of them come with upper and lower intake, cam, timing chain, aluminum heads,rockers, and all they other ****. I was wondering if i should just buy one of these kits or buy the HolleySystemMaxII kit, or should i just get some AFR heads and just buy whatever goes good with them. Like cam intake etc..... I just want my stang to have a little more go go juice . But any advice will be greatly appericated.

IMO get the trick flow kit. its more complete and it still cost less than the holly kit and makes really close to the same power. im not sure of exact #'s though
