Go to a paint store and get some aircraft paint stripper for the aluminum valve covers.
Should take about 20 minutes to have them looking like new.
Like Bob stated, gears, heads and maybe N2O makes the real differance.......

Hey, i'm still fairly new at this and I'm looking for some good mods for my 88 mustang gt, so far I have picked out..
1: BBK Cold Air Intake
2: Ford Racing Polished Valve Covers
3: New Chrome Headers/Paint the Block
4: BBK Underdrive Pulleys
5: Venom High Performance Fuel Injectors - 24lb
If you guys could, give me some more mods to add on, links would be nice also!
Thanks

Here's an article I wrote about modding my '89 back when it was stock. I got it down into the 12s without modding the engine, mainly with weight reduction, good suspension, and drag radials. Your '88 5.0 should respond similarly.

Skip the injectors, as they'll actually hurt performance on a stock 302 with a speed density computer.

3.73s gears and the parts below make a good start.

I have pullies and dont have a problem with them. i dont think they are worth the money but they came on the car so i will run them. whats wrong with the 303 cams? i have had e303 in the past and never had a problem with it. one of the best street cars i have seen had an x cam.
