Thumbs up

I've added the following performance mods.

Bassani X-pipe w/Cats.
Bassani Axle Back Mufflers.
WMS High Velocity Intake w/95mm MAF Meter and Ram Air Tray
Brenspeed 91 Octane Tune

I just ordered the Meziere Pump and Steeda UD Pullies.

Are there any other N/A performance mods. available besides some new gears, headers, and higher octane?

Ported and polished heads. I believe Sean Hyland and Livernois Motorsports has these.

and from reading the experiences from others you shouldnt consider their work.

Why not just go with the best? Boss 330 Racing.

Heads and gears. If you got long tubes you would have to get a different X pipe and I don't know if you can do cats with those. For the heads, you could either get new ones or have your stock ones opened up. If your car is an every day driver, you can't be without your heads for weeks while they get ported. I would almost buy a new set and get those ported, then sell your stock ones.

long tubes and an aluminum driveshaft. those two will be worth 30+ hp same in torque. and lose some weight off your drivetrain.

Curious as to why you have a 91 octane (Cali) tune when you live in WI?
Al Papitto (Boss 330) is currently working on a worked N/A 3V 4.6. The bottom end is forged to handle more rpm with more static compression (still pump gas), heads are fully ported paired with Al's pro stock bike sourced dual spring valvetrain and SS valves. Intake has been shortened via a plastic welder for more power up top. Cams are stock for now as no one has suitable grinds at this point.
The motor should kick out a true 360rw+ corrected in this state. With cams maybe another 20rw on top of that.
Forget SHM or Livernois, if you search some of the different Mustang Forums on the net you'll see exactly why they suck.

You could go with a stroker kit or a big bore kit.

Who makes a Al driveshaft, hand how much is it gonna cost. I am interested in this, as I am planning on going the N/A route, and want to suck as much power as I can without having to use underdrive pullies. Still wating for the word on some good cams, that may have a chance in heck to pass emissions. Please do not bring up BBR cams. This seems to be a sore spot on most mustang threads.

I got my one piece aluminum driveshaft from Spyder, PM him and I'm sure he will help you out. I love mine and it work's great, at less than half the price of your alternatives.

BMR (carbon fiber) and JPC (aluminum) have driveshafts readily available.

Fourcam, will this set-up you mentioned be a viable option for daily driving or suited more for the drag strip? I have spoken to 169stang a few times about his current set-up and Al's work. If given a choice I would rather stay N/A but get closer to 350rwhp but maintain daily driveablity.

The setup described would have a near stock powercurve, albeit raised significantly. Even with some decent sticks the motor would be very streetable, and is definitely suitable for a daily driver.

How much weight does the Al driveshaft save? One of my goals is to reduce the weight of my car.
