Worth the trouble?

if i get new pistons and raise the comp up to lets say 10.5, what intake/ stall / carb should i use then? would what i have be good? or should i still change intakes?

remember, im looking for as much balls out performance i can get. i realize that without spending a ton of money and building some crazy stroked engine that i wont be the fastest ship in the galaxy. but i am looking to squeeze 100% performance out of that 360.

or would it be better to just tear the entire thing apart and change rods, pistons, heads etc etc. and not even dick around with the stock stuff i have now. i know all in all stock stuff wont be lightning fast or reliable but will it be at least respectable?
