Default foxbody rookie questions

I have a 1988 ford mustang gt. I took it to the last track day at Milan Dragway. I ran 14.10s with everything stock besides cutting off cats and replacing them with an h pipe, competition hooker longtube headers, flowmaster 40, bumped timing, gt40p upper and lower intake, and 24lb injectors.i was surprised it ran so good on new street tires. Im planning on putting my brand new gt40 heads, b303 cam, 1.7 roller rockers, and mass air on it. Honestly. Is this setup going to be any good? I got all of these parts for $350 from a buddy. Everything im planning on putting on is brand new. Whats the average hp boost if i put these parts on. I only have about $2000 in the whole car right now.

Thanks, Ryan

That cam and heads should help a little but arent the best parts!
Im guessing mid 13's with some drags and gears!!

250 shot..., Really? Maybe 1 or 2 passes but then kiss that baby goodbye!! Just get your lil setup going and 100 shot of juice! Of course with correct tunning..., (Timing-plugs) should be safe and with a kick! That was my 1st setup before the cobra on my gt fox!

Well my motor has low miles and my brother has 10 psi of boost from his stock 5.0 and its putting 512 to the wheels and was tuned by lideo. He hasnt broken it yet after 4 years of summer and track beatings. And i have 3 stock 5.0 sitting around so blowing it to pieces isnt the issue. Lol lets just say i like to push my limits

Here's what I did to my 5.0 when it was stock, and I ran in the 12s.

With motor mods or nitrous, it would be much quicker!
