horsepower

I got an 87 Ford F-150 with a 5.0 wondering what is the best type of horsepower to put on. I already got a holley adjustable fuel pressure regulator along with a high flow k@N filtercharger. Get back to me with some suggestions......thanks I need that power. Im thinking on posi rear end, alon with 3:73 gears with a n 8 inch rear end. Bran new gt-40 high flow ford racing iron heads. BBk high flow throttle body, throttle body spacer. New underdrive pulley system. Shift Improver kiy, along with a B@m quicksilver automatic shifter. New headman headers, along with 3 inch exhaust, to flowmaster mufflers. Also a new crane cam (hydraulic roller) not sure on lift an duration yet. A hypertech computer chip, and maybe a performance manifold. Give me your opinion, and any suggestions. Thanks Ryan
