Turning up the boost will almost always work as the brute force way to make more power with a forced induction car, but I've read plenty of examples of supercharged and even turbocharged mustangs realizing some pretty big power gains from smoothing out the intake flow path as well as the exhaust. I don't know how well it would correlate to a 2.0L engine, but changing out the intake manifold on a blown 5.0L can be worth 40-50hp on it's own because the decreased pressure drop through the manifold flows so much more air.
