Sorry to rain on your parade but the engine is pretty maxed out on power as is, you're not gonna squeeze out too much more. The best option would be to get a new final drive.

OP.. youre new.. against my better judgemnt.. i will tell you.

LISTEN TO ME.

buy a Cobb AP 03-06 and download your own stage 2 map.. buy one on the classified section for 350 bucks.
Buy a set of test pipes.
Buy a plenum spacer.

You are now done.

I recently sold all of the above including a JWT pop for 700 bucks.. so it can be had cheap.

oil starvation threw a bearing.
Advice was solid, but the best advice was the third post.

Headers, HFC, Plenum or Intake Manifold, Flywheel and Uprev tune.

I need to get a uprev tune and just like you wanted to stick with NA. Even without a tune the car is truly a beast.
