Help deciding next upgrades!

[WindyCityStang]

Hello All!
I have been searching the forum to decide my next upgrades and I want some opinions on how I should spend my money. A little background: I have a 2016 GT performance pack with the MT-82 6 speed. I already have a Roush CAI and AB exhaust. I am wanting to get more performance out of the NA setup before I go FI in the next couple years. My budget is $2k-$2500. Where i am stuck at is i was looking to go Ford Performance PP3 originally to keep everything within ford spec for the time being (just got a new engine installed) but after looking up intake manifolds idk if I should go GT350 with throttle body, GT350 with stock TB, or 18+ manifold? I already have a CAI so the GT350 one on the PP3 seems pointless for me. Also, e85 is definitely an option where I live so I am open to suggestions if going that route. I've looked at headers as well, but not sure if it's a good investment at this point until I actually move to FI. So please help me narrow down how I should spend my money!

E85 tune, clutch upgrade, braided clutch line and axle upgrade. The last two will set you up really good for FI.

Would you recommend going upgraded manifold for e85?

I have the GT350 manifold on mine (comes standard on the Bullitt). The only reason I didn’t mention it was because I didn’t know if you would be looking to go with a Whipple for FI. If that’s the case, I would hold off on the intake and apply that money toward other mods.

How do you intend to drive the car with the extra power? If road course or drag race work is your thing g, some suspension upgrades are also in order.

Your 1/3rd of the way to having enough money for a blower and you want to spend it to get 30-35hp?

Yeah it's mostly just wanting to do things in steps. I thought it would be cool to have a FBO NA first before moving to FI (just a personal preference). Plus with the new motor I don't want to overdue it right away so want to do a few bolt on stuff in meantime while I take a year or so to put some miles on the motor.
