A drop in will do a great deal of whatever gain you see intake companies touting, since they're nearly entirely benefiting from less air resistance since they all route the same way and take in air in the same location and are equally insulated from engine bay heat.
Port your throttle body, it's easy if you have a dremel and watch a youtube video on it.
Cut out the intake manifold air straighteners ...seems unnecessary and just blocks some air flow.
tune.
Not sure you'll see much other than that general stuff to improve perf other than nitrous and forced induction.
Exhaust is essentially as good as it's gonna get performance wise, though aftermarket ones can reduce weight and improve sound.
Intake is already a cai.
engine is already pushing the limits anyone can expect for a NA v6.
Maybe change out the rear gears for better acceleration at the expense of top speed and mpg? Personally i think the engine wants to be supercharged, and you seem to be in a state that doesn't care if you do, so that's the route i'd go if you can afford it.
