5.8 FSB engine rebuild

In a year or so I need to have my 5.8 rebuild for my FSB.

The FSB is the 96 in my sig. I was wondering what will be a reasonable overbore for my EFI based engine.

I will have all the bearings replaced and have the heads redone or replaced.
Is there a better cam profile that will work with the computer? I would like more hp.

It's already got a pretty good roller cam now, the specs are 256/266 advertised duration (not at .050) lift is .422/.445. Add 1.7 full roller pedestal rockers like Crane's p/n 44746-16 gets the lift to .445/.473. LSA is 116*.
