How old is the engine. For most people, money is a limiting factor. I suggest stay with stock 5.0L bottom end. Aim for torque. Custom cam, look at flow tech inductions from the states. AFR165s, 1.6 Rockers, 4.11 gears, performer/ported cobra/explorer intake. T5?

Since the car in question is an EB, the bottom end is more than likely fitted with stock forged pistons. Unless they are worn enough that fresh rings & a light hone won't do the trick, don't change them just for the sake of it. The rotating assembly will probably outlast the block once you start chasing more power.
As for the rest, it's not as simple as bolting on a few brand name bits & hoping for the best, or blaming one part for dissapointing performance. All the parts need to work in harmony. Head choice will affect intake choice will affect cam choice will affect injector choice etc. You tell us what you want the car to do most of the time (ie. where you drive) & what you can afford to spend & then we can suggest combos. Better yet, buy a copy of Ford 5.0L Dyno Tests by Richard Holdener. It's got more expertise than you could possibly want.

well about 300kw's at the engine would be nice, maybe 350, i've got whatever it takes money wise, it will probly have an auto with quickshifter, i want her to eat almost anything on the street, but thats quite easy in albany lol. so can you guys recommend a good combo!
that will give awesome results

If you're aiming for 350KW then you'd better start looking at forced induction and a dart block.
Also don't expect your BTR 4sp to last long

no forced induction, i want it kept n/a, want the most amount of power possible, while being still quite reliable, i just want to know what combo would be the best for a street car, the lumpier, rougher the better, i dont want it to be a nice drive, just go like a bull pumped up on steroid's
