Ok so here is the thing.

im getting this 5.0 in a few weeks from a friend of mine....

1988 Mustang GT converted to MAF,T-5 Tranny, no mufflers cut right after the cats, BBk cold Air intake, JBA headers, 70mm throtle body (not sure on brand), Ford racing F-303 cam, proshift 5.0 short shifter, MSD distributor with rotor and wires, A/C delete as well as H&R lowering springs and shocks, 5 lug conversion with 03 cobra brake calipers with cross drilled rotors.

now for my question....

What do u guys recomend i do next to this car? what performance parts should i add with the mods it already has??

The first thing I'd do is toss a set of mufflers on it. The MAC Flowpaths sound awesome, and do not drone like the 2 chamber flows do.

also wanted to know if you guys think the parts on it are good like the F-303 cam is that a good cam to keep and will it support 300+ horsepower...


as well as the exhaust, should i add mufflers all the way to the back or keep them in the middle?

Mufflers should be right before the rear end.
