351M needs some more power!

Im getting ready to rebuild my stock 351M. Im wantin to add some serious horsepower while the motor is out. This is my first rebuild and first real time workin with motors so i dont know really what i will need for the extra horsepower. I use my truck mainly for off-road use if that helps. Any ideas on what can give me some more power?

Decide what your actual use of the truck will be. If it's really a daily driver that goes offroad sometimes you want more low end torque and mid range horsepower. If it's truly a toy(offroad only) find people who do the same activity and find out from them what works. You'll find that stock these engines are dogs, but they wake up very quickly with a few parts.
