Why do you need help in the low end? You pulling a trailer?

The car just feels sluggish in the lower range, I've even had people drive it and say "it's weird when you hit xxx rpm it feels like the car turns on" it's almost annoying. I've had a few different tunes put on it, so I'm pretty sure it's not the tune. BUT I've never had it dyno tuned...

Have you had the car tuned? If not the "laziness" you are feeling is toque reduction set in the throttle body setting. Basically the throttle body opens much slower than when you actually apply the pedal. (this is tuned this way from ford)
Tune should help a bunch, Long tubes will help but are more for 2800rpm and above where they are going to shine.
Gears will also help stepping into a 3.55/3.73
Let me know if we can help

Great post. I think a tune would alleviate alot of what is irking him. My car feels strong down low.

That's always been a problem with OHC engines compared to OHV designs. You can usually wind the OHCs up higher, but the OHVs produce the low end torque, especially in the big cube versions.
