Go with the foxbody they look so much better, also..remember that the 87 and 88 year(except cali cars for 88) were speed denstiy instead of mass air. And yes a good H/C/I setup will do fine.

What's the difference between speed density and mass air?

I was reading about the transmission (T5) and it seems like it would have trouble handling any extra power. Would I have to replace the entire transmission to be able to handle 300-350 rwhp?

All depends on you driving ability. I have seen some have no problem with a stock T5 and 300-350 RWHP. Then I also have a friend that has been through 5 T5's in four years because he can not drive a manual trans for chit! If you beat on it daily expect to fix it more often. You could get a TKO, it will handle more power.
