Hi new member here
Hi names Dave and I'm from Michigan! I own a 1988 foxbody 5.0, I bought this car back in 08 as a graduation present too myself, the car was all original 47,000 miles and even had the original tires! sence then Ive been slowly building, seems I spend more time bolting on parts then actually driving the car considering I only have 57k miles now! Like everyone on here Im always looking for more hp's, So starting with the rearend I swapped to 3.73s, shift kit in the stock AOD, deleted Cats, A/C, Smog pump. BBK U/L intake, cold air, 65mm TB, Mass Air Conversion, Electric Water pump, Aluminum Radiator, Electric Fans, 5 lug conversion w/ rear disk brakes. im sure ill think of more later!
That being said Id like to ask for some help right off the bat. I just got my cyber monday gift -new TFS 190cc aluminum heads.
what cam, rockers, headers, etc. go best with this set up?
Thanks in advance, I cant believe It took me all these years owning this car and not being a member on this site!

Welcome to the board!
You should post some pictures of your car, we'd love to see it!
As for your question regarding what goes best with your heads, it may be better asked in the Fox Body section of this forum

Enjoy your stay!

smoked head lights
smoked Tail lights! not a fan of them, might just smoke the stockers
Then it was time for the 5lug conversion, and rear disk
A set of FR500 18's wraped in nitto 555's

Had a pile of parts the ol lady was b******* about, its winter, so time to get too work!
my next step was too make room for the new U/L intake from bbk
little comparison for ya
next had to install fuel rails injectors FPR
Decided to lighten up the belt using this aluminum electric water pump
Got the TB on and bypassed the EGR, custom painted valve covers
Note: no mass air at this point! keep this in mind for later on

Here she is cleaning up before getting put away for winter, as it sits now!
Now I got the mass air conversion installed, along with New aluminum radiator, Electric fan, and forgot to put the a/c back in lol
Spare Short Block I picked up just cuz it was only $100
getting ready to disassemble
