Default Power Gains for 5.0L

Wanting to get as much power out of my 2012 5.0L without going as far as throwing on a supercharger kit. Looking to stay with the basic mods like Cold Air Intake, Throttle Body, Programmer and Exhaust.
Already got Solo Performance exhaust on.

Anyone out there with any input and gains from what they have done would be greatly appreciated.

K&N Cold Air intake kit #77-2581 installed. avg. mpg went from 17.4 to 18.6 - over one mpg better plus when I kick it down the engine sound is awesome just like my old m'stang 5.0 used to sound.. first added soft tonneau cover and checked mpg and only got about .3 to .5 additional depending on how much highway I did.
K&N dyno chart shows about 10 hp / 10 lb.ft. avg gain too.
