Default 2005 Mustang GT. What kind of schedule of mods to follow?

I've recently started modding my car, with the CAI and tune, I'm looking around for mods to follow this which will inevitably lead to a Roush S/C I also plan to add small exterior mods as I go

From what I've seen, the next step would be for me to add
does this sound good?
a UDP
Suspension upgrades (UCA/LCA, Axleback, etc. still have more to learn about suspension upgrades)Any input here would be greatly appreciated
Exhaust
At the same time, or soon after that, a ground effects kit, only exterior work I'll do beyond trying to change my tan-top to a black top.
Delete Plates
I know there are other mods I can do, and I know there are some other mods out there that I just flat out don't know/understand, most of which are abbreviated in peoples signatures but I don't know enough about them to place them in any place on the list which I would love input on. Trying to do this on a part-time based income as a student initially.

Again I greatly appreciate input, thanks guys

If you plan to supercharge forget the pulleys and delete plates since they will be of no use.

The driveshaft is a very good mod. A lightweight aluminum driveshaft will decrease rotational mass by about 65%, freeing up some hp lost to drag.

Like everyone said, suspension mods and a driveshaft. Forgot the UDPs, you won't need them after the SC. Maybe some bigger tires.

Those are the most important suspension mods.
