It's not a good idea to do both on a stock engine. In order to do both, a set of very stout engine internals ie. forged pistons, forged crank, really good valves are neccessary and the list goes on. In addition to the engine, a question of wheather the transmission and the rest of the drivetrain can handle the added power. An example is a co-worker of mine has a mustang 5.0. After various mods, he gunned the gas and the chassis flexed so bad, the windshield popped out! Gotta make sure the car itself can handle the motor too!
