Question More Power Help

I have a Stock 1995 Mustage GT with 5.0 Liter engine, Painted black with black leather interior.
I want to bore it out by 30, but while I have the engine out, what do you suggest to do to increase horsepower? (cam, heads, intake, ingnition, exhaust) I thought I would put 3K into the engine, give or take. If I could increase HP by 100 to 150 or more I would like to. What is the best combination for heads and intake? What Cam would you run? I have some ideas,but you all have already done it.
Thanks

Trickflow and Holly have some proven good combos that work and sell in packages. Any free flowing exhaust will do you some good from a h/c/i combo. Iwould suggest a gear if you have some money left over. Good luck.

As Dark mentioned, AFR's are good out of the box heads as well as the trickflows, the Z303 cam is a good choice as well and the Trickflow stage one. Good Luck.

I personally dont care for AFR 165's cause if you ever move to a stroker you will be leaving power on the table with those.

They would be great for his current application though.
