Default Best Combo

I have a 95 Mustang GT and am now going to replace the lifters, cam, timing chain, heads, and roller rockers. What is the best combo, what kind of HP can I expect to get?

I see. I already have all the bolt ons...Trickflow intake, tb, maf, cai, msd everything, 3.73's, lowered, kyb shocks/struts...I am solely looking for heads, lifters, cam, rockers, timing chain best for my stock block. I know you can get cam and lifters combo kits...anyone know a good one to go with? I am probably going with Twisted Wedge Heads. And yes I want it to be reliable, a street show car is what it is.

AFR 165's are the way to go. A trick flow stage 1 cam or an e303. These cams have a pretty mild idle.

Here's the list Summitracing gave me. Tell me what you think.

Harland Sharp Roller Rockers 1.6
Ford Motorsports Lifters
Summit Double Roller Timing Chain
Trickflow Twisted Wedge Heads
Trickflow Stage 1 Cam

What do you think and how much HP should I expect?
