5.0 EFI Build

Im at the point now where i wanna start going thru My 302 EFI. Im looking to try and make anywhere arround the 300 Hp range. The Truck Now is a basically stock 302 EFI speed density system. I got Headers & exhaust, Performance coil, K&N CAI, And Accel Ignition kit. I was thinking about Putting some Gt40 heads, edelbrock intake with the BBk Throttle body,a little cam upgrade. What else can i do to make this come alive. Also Would it be better just to change to mass air. Whats some ideas?

What year is your truck?

Don't waste your money on the Edelbrock intake and TB the stock 5.0 intake flows just as well and can outperform it with a little port matching to the heads. GT40 heads and a cam will get you your goals and a MAF conversion may not be absolutely necessary if you're careful with cam selection, but you'll get better results overall if the motor also has mass air.
