What next?
All right, I've done the following to my 2000 V6 Stang:
Dual cat magnaflows
K&N CAI
Harmonic Balancer
BBK 65mm Throttle Body (yes, I know doesn't really improve HP but my throttle response was improved)
Rear seat deletion kit
Anything I can do to it for more speed and pickup other than a turbocharger kit? Headers?

If you just pick up some Mustang magazines and read them just about anything in there for the V8's can in some way be used in theory or action on the V6.
Example:
Theory: 5.0L modular Stroker with forged goodies.
What you do: 4.3L Stroker with forged goodies.
Theory: Eaton swap on a 99-01 Cobra or 03/04 Mach 1.
What you do: Buy Matt's M112 adapter plate and other parts and follow suit on tuning and fuel.
Action: Shocks, struts, IRS swap, gears, driveshaft.
What you do: Exactly what they did, its a direct swap over.
What I am getting at is adapt things that work for the V8 guys or even a different car brand to your car.
Some things will swap right over with no more modification than the V8 guys have to go through and others take a large engineering feet to achieve.
Read read read even if it doesnt relate to mustangs is all I can say.
Brave people out there try new things or take measurements to see what it will take to make it work.
LSx yellow springs fit our sixxers with GT retainers and are good for about .570" lift.
CNG 160lb EV1 injectors can be used on our sixxers with a driver box and are great for E85 guys.
