Transit bus conversion help!

Transit bus conversion help!
I have had this transit bus with a F-250 6.8 V-10 class engine. It frankly is slow for my taste. I want power and speed so can someone suggest some engine mods/upgrades? I am making it a party bus with bar and disco lights with high powered stereo. It has a handicap lift that is going to be a bar for outside parties. I want it to sound mean and maybe even lift it a bit. I do plan to put headers on it with true duels and no cats. I thought about boring the motor .040 over, but don't want it to overheat. Not really worried about the mileage. Thx in advance!

Hi MIATitan, welcome to FTE!
Be a little more specific here, what chassis does the bus have? Most of those are E-series van bodies with an engine shoehorned under the dashboard. You'll be substantially more limited in options if this is the case.
If it's a Super Duty body I'd suggest a supercharger. I don't recall that anyone has made a kit in awhile, but something like this would fit the bill if you can find one.

This would probably not fit if it's an E-series chassis.
