any more mods I can do while staing N/a?

I currently have Kooks 2 inch headers with highflow cats, E85, Ported OEM heads, BTR stage 2 Cam, GPI Ported MSD, 95mm TB, KnN CAI, TCM tune, Flowmaster American thunder Axlebacks.

For more reliability mods I have CHE Trunnions, BTR dual Valvesprings, LME timing chain guide, Katech timing chain, and GPI timing lower gear.

Still have stock pistons.

I dont want to go with a hi-ram as I think those just look ugly especially on the 19+ hoods and going stroker seems like a waste instead of just boosting and I daily the car so I dont want anything insane.

Any other ideas for decent power adders while staying N/A?

Dropin pistons and rods
Meth Injection
COPO Camaro hood - allows you to use Hi-Ram
Weight reduction - Carbon Fiber, hood (COPO hood has one), CB Decklid, Rear seat delete, CB Driveshaft, CB corner panels, doors, etc
ZL1 Rear end swap.

OR you can Stroke out the 376 to 416 and meth along with THP port injection.

I’m not 100% but I think the roto-fab offers a touch more power than the K&N. Also you could switch to a 103mm tb. Both of those things combined would net less than 10hp I bet, so might not be worth it to you.

Internals are never a waste particularly if you think you're going FI. Plenty of folks get away with running stock internals at all kinds of boost levels, and that's fine. I always felt like throwing FI on a non-forged platform left me looking over my shoulder, like the detonation boogey-man was always lurking. Or a sticky set of tires would be the end of the bottom end. In either case, in the grand scheme internals are a small price in a build. Most FI systems cost 3x or more than a set of rods/pistons. As far as punching out & stroking the engine, that's a matter of goals. If you're max effort, you want as much displacement as you can grab. If you're budget minded, then just a forged kit will do the job. If you're NA crazy, displacement makes a lot of sense.

Once you step off the bolt-on cliff, it's pretty much the realm of insane that's left. Nitrous is something to consider if you're staying on the NA Bolt-on path for a while. There's a kit for every budget and power goal. I've sprayed from a 50 shot to 200 shot, it's all good fun and gives you a wildcard equalizer on the street. But if it's your daily and you have no back-up vehicle, I wouldn't do anything more that would put the stock bottom at risk.
