A set of '99+ PI cams work really well with NA and low boost (up to 10 psi) motors, and they are a direct bolt in and cost very little money. They are worth 13 rwhp on a NA NPI motor, so with the boost I wouldn't be surprised to see 18+ rwhp. Drivability of course is just as good as any '99+ Mustang.
As far as headers, just save up you money and get longtubes. The shorties aren't really worth a damn on these motors, even with the blower. Its a shame no company has come out with a nice set of mid-lengths. Kook's used my old '97 Tbird to develop a set of midlengths for the modular Tbird, Cougar, and Mark VIII cars and they were killer. Flowed like a long tube, but keep the clearances of a stock exhaust.
