Default Ready to Buy Some new parts just have some ?'s

I have $2000 to spend in parts for the mustang i would like to have a supercharger or a twin turbo setup but $2000 cant by a complete system. I already have High performance racing crank and cams, over-sized racing pistons and rings. Its been Bored 30 over also been ported and polished 3.73 gears, aftermarket intake, 75mm throttle body,King cobra racing clutch, Short shifter, Eibach racing suspension, Raven X pipe high flow Exhaust with turn downs over the wheels. Just put new coil packs on it along with Ford racing plugs and wires.
So i really dont know what else to do that could give me a good amount of hp gain besides a forced induction system. Maybe a pi swap, Long tube headers im just needing some help deciding what to do. I know a little about cars but once you get into adding hp and whats the best parts to buy i am lost.
I read on here that a guy spent $2000 on just cams and only got a 25hp increase and i do not want to make that mistake so if you guys will help me out i would appreciate it.

PI Swap or go check out the boost section of the forum, theres a $1500 supercharger thread

Add some nitrous if you want to keep it really cheap.

if you have good pistons in there, just spray a 175-200 shot and call it a day

You will need more fuel with the mods you have because you can use a lot more boost than normal people. And you might wanna send your v1 to vortech for an Si upgrade so you can run more boost and make more power. And do you have ported PI or NPI heads??? I mean ported NPI heads make some decent numbers too. But you might somewhere along the lines go with ported PI heads or trickflow heads. Just to open up the motor a little bit more.
