okay i have a 92 F-150 extended cab. with a 300-6 250,000 miles on it EFI all stock. i want horsepower (what's new) what can i do to get these. Where do i start. The more Chrome the better 
umm as far as i know we don't have emissions testing in Michigan. What is entailed in getting it bored over? How much will it cost $$$. What about porting the heads?. oh one more question has any one ever put <a href="http://www.motorhaven.com/">nitrous</a> in this engine? Any help would be appreciated

Do the 'usual' stuff:
Cliffy or Offy intake, 4 bbl carb, Cam, Lifters, Springs, Small Block Chev Valves, Port/Polish, Elec/Flex Fan, Hot Ignition, etc... You can expect 220 to 250 HP. I'm pretty happy with mine.

Do you really want to go carb or stay EFI? I am developing parts for the 300-6 EFI that will be useable with turbo or n/a engines. There is a major gap in supply when it comes to the 300-6, and I am looking to fill that. But again, it all comes down to how much you want to spend. Do you want a few more ponies, or a drop-in twin turbo axle breaker? That's the first step, to set a goal.

if there is no emmissios testing take off the cat, you can try advancing your timing around 2-3 degrees and porting your heads. you should also clean your entire fuel system from top to bottom.... This will help you get some power

k i guess umm i'd like to start this summer with $1500. this fall i hope to geta better job and have acopla grand to put in it. I found a local guy that does machine stuff cheap!!! he's gunna resurface my flywheel for $20 (i do realize that doesn't say much). But i guess he is EXTREMLY reasonable on that kinda stuff. he does it in his pole barn and has just as much or more equipment than a machine shop.THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HES DOING. Anyway. How much horsepower....is there really a limit to how much horsepower you can WANT. I'm pretty good at welding and am gunna do my own body work anyone know where i can get decent cab corners? I found a guy that does a good paint job fo $100 a panel. Does that sound reasonable?that was one of my questions should i stay EFI or should i go to carbed. What does advancing the timing actaully do (as far as mechanically and performance wise). Elec/Flex Fan, Hot Ignition??? you lost me.
thanks for all your help
oh yah i forgot one thing i want to do this and KEEP ALL MY TORQUE absolutly nothing that i will loose torque with (torque is my best friend)

don't go to a carb. EFI is a better system IMO.
Well you can go the turbo route, and get a lot more power, but its gunna take some custom fabrication. You could also go internal and get a cam, clean up the head, throw in bigger valves, bigger injectors, chip, exhaust, ignition... um... other stuff.
