Default 306 will this setup work

im thinking of put my 1989 mustang gt in to a 306

the car has

BBK Cold air Induction System
70mm bbk throttle body,
Bbk underdrive pulleys,
Msd 8.5mm plug wires,
NGK iridium ix spark plugs,
Accel coil,
MSD Ignition Cap & Rotor Kits,
Flex-a-lite electric fan,
MSD 6 Series Ignition Boxe,
Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator
C&L 76mm Mass Air Meter
PRO 5.0 Performance Shifter
full exhaust

i found a Trick Flow Top-End engine kits provide dyno-proven power without the guesswork. Up to 360hp/350tq with this kit. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/TFS-K514360350 and i will port and polish the heads and the manifolds with 19th high flow injector

should i get it


and this where im geting the Forged Pistons http://www.coasthigh.com/Ford-306-Fl...44-sf-f306.htm

Why? A 306 is nothing more than 302 that has been bored .030 over. There is no real power advantage to a small overbore. The reason you bore an engine is to true up the cylinder walls, if the walls are ok there is no good reason to bore it out.
