Default Used engine

O.k. here's the deal, I recently had engine problems and found a bad piston. At the time I had to have my truck so I bought a new engine and put it in. Now I have a complete engine with 190,000 miles on it and I have been thinking about rebuilding it for a performance motor. It is the 5.9 V8 so I was wanting suggestions on stuff to do to get the most power out of this motor without putting it on a bottle. I am thinking about flat top pistons, cam (don't know what size), head work and maybe bigger injectors. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
