Rebuilding and up grading my 350 rocket.

So i pulled the motor out so i can get the engine bay ready and rebuild and upgrade the motor. I want to have it machined to a 0km motor, but i want to give it some more power. Any ideas, i,ve been looking at tons of web pages and they just contradict each other. So i came to the pro's. Anything and everything will be helpfull.

It starts with a few basic questions. What are your goals for the engine? What kind of car is it going in? What is your budget? where are you located?

The way you answered this scares the hell out of me.
Get a budget. Save cash. Get a plan, and a goal.
Do only what you can afford to.
Seriously.

A stock engine can scare the hell out of you too, if you know what you are doing.
