Trying to get more out of my set up

Looking for some recommendations for parts to help squeeze a little more out.
Current set up
Lethal racing night fury cam
(Supporting parts,Hv oil pump, timing chain, springs, titanium retainers, pushrods, etc)
Long tube headers
Flowmaster 3” exhaust
Af dynamic intake

I was considering the rod mod for the intake manifold and possibly porting the throttle body. Just looking for feedback/recommendations.
Car put down 441hp on a mustang dyno.

Do the 3.91's. You won't regret it. IMO there are absolutely no downsides at all. Very noticeable boost in acceleration, can still cruise at 80 on the highway. I can't imagine ever going back to the 3.45's.

I feel your pain im in a similar situation lol. I actually just sent my manifold out to gpi today for rod mod, porting, and they're also adding a heat shield to it as well. Im also deleting my cats and resonator when i get the my manifold installed. If you haven't already definitely do 3.91 gears and a 25% udp.

I’m in a similar position , same set up . Although those are low numbers for that cam, you must be auto . I put on a Powerbond 25% UD and a hot tune and I’m at 505. 3.91 is my next step
Are you chasing a number or time on the strip?

M6 car, car was street tuned and then I brought it to another shop to have it dyno’d. I definitely had higher hopes number wise. Maybe bringing it in for a new tune on 93 this spring depending what I do this winter. I lean more toward the strip as that’s a true test of what the car can do haha. My fastest time was 12.6 in the 1/4. Each pass was getting faster my last night at the strip, just need more passes to dial in the drivers mod haha. Was yours dyno’d on a mustang dyno or dynojet?
