Default 2003 3.8 conv. Whats next

Once again its a post about help on what part to get next.

First off i Have a 2003 mustang v6 3.8l convertible auto.
New rims & tires, DS tuner custom tune, Mac Cai, Mac Catback Exhaust.

I am about to order Ford Lowering springs, 3.73 gears and a T-lok.

I want a Daily driver but of course i want power. I'm looking to make 200-210 rwhp N/A.

Right now i am estimating about 170-175hp at the wheels. Is this about right?

lastly i am on a pretty tight budget usually about 100-300 to spend a month.

This month i am getting the 3.73s t-lok and springs

So Whats Next?

I have been looking into

Udp - not sure if there worth it?
New Driveshaft - whats the difficulty of installation
New Flywheel - what improvement would i see?
Tb & Headers - nothing for a N/A engine (correct?)
Cams, crank or 4.2 stroker - totally clueless here. Price, Installation difficulty and good companies.
Your suggestions are welcome.
Thank you
