Question Still Need A Bit More Help Please

My Car is a 1988 mustang GT mustang 5.0 and have these mods:

bbk cold air intake, with 70mm throttle body and 70mm spacer
msd distributer, msd 6al ingnition box
bkk long tube headers
bbk h-pipes w/o cats
flow master 2 chamber exaughst
cobra intake
a rebuilt ( i think it is) t-5 short shifter

i've had my dizzy done and set, and im set to get my msd coil blaster this weekend, but would the msd retard timing computer help a good amount as well.

im wondering when you say mass flow conversion im kind confused because i have bbk cold air intake, so does that mean i have already done the conversion? in helping to raise my hp

i was looking at some afr heads(which are what i think Really Expensive, do you know any cheaper ones on the power level out put) , and some ford racing X-303 camshaft.

A CAI is not a Mass air........the cold air intake is just the tubing that carries the air to the intake from outside the engine bay, in that tubing there would be a break and a maf sensor in a housing installed and clamped inline, you need not do the msd retard timing thing= not applicable to your set up, as for heads that are cheaper....sure you can get cheaper ones, but you get what you pay for as well as the performance level they will deliver
