95 was the first year of mass air for the trucks and mass air was on the 5.0s only.
You're exhaust on your 88, with exception of the headers, will have to be all custom work. I don't know if Bassani makes any thing for the 5.0 truck or not. You might go to their website and check. Pony_power pretty much told everything that can be done without getting into the heads and intake. The heads, intake and cam are going to be a huge restriction in performance. They just weren't made/designed for it. If you really do want to go mass air just go to the salvage yard and get the setup, computer and all, off of a 95-96 5.0 F150. Hooker, Heddman, Pace Setter are some companies that have headers. If you can, get long tubes. You need torque to get the heavy truck truckin'. You can get a flat panel K&N filter for your truck. Get a air inlet tube from a 95 F250 460. It runs from the slot beside the radiator to the air filter box. Funnels the air from the grille right up to the air filter. There's your cold air induction. Very popular mod with us Lightning guys. The stock tube runs from right under the hood lip to the filter box. Uh, can we say RETARDED!! Use the mustang 5.0 pullies, March 1015s, which are the power and amp series. Keeps your alternator charge up. You could get a chip but it's not going to do much more than bump the timing, and maybe a couple other little things that you could do yourself. Bump your timing to about 14 degrees and run at least 91 octane or whatever octane works to get rid of the detonation (pinging). Also contact Pat at Level 10 transmissions and get yourself a shift kit. The Transpak shiftkit, made by B&M I believe, is also a pretty good one. The Level 10 kit is the best one though. Next you could throw on some Nitrous....
