opinion on 3.5NA upgrades

[Santicom]

Hey guys i know im a little out of place but i have the 2011 SEL FWD unfortunately and wondering about performance upgrades. I know most people will just tell me stop wasting time and get a SHO at this point but the car has a lot of sentimental value. Would love as much opinions as possible "Maintenance is up to date"

So far ive been leaning towards these in no order at all

Ford performance spark plugs | seen some others but not entirely sure yet
Tune - not sure what kind but will go off what tuner says unless people have good ideas on one
Breaks/rotors/Calipers dual pin- opinions needed
Waterpump- heard to only stick with the ford one but theres also a motorcraft one aswell unless theres a even better one
timing chain | not sure if theres also a upgrade well im doing the waterpump
Cold air intake | was looking at the K&N and roush
Fuel injectors | If necessary i have no idea if needed but if im doing air and spark im guessing these will also be needed

So far thats what im thinking i dont think i can get much more performance out of the 3.5NA but hopefully that can push me into the low 300s mostly from a tune. Other then the breaks suspension will be done at one point most people were saying the coils i was looking at are way too stiff for the ride and the air ride is crazy expensive. Anyways any opinion is wanted most of the exterior is already planned out or started/ordered thanks for anyone who helps!

There is no engagement on the old forums. We are stubborn over here and this place still lives for now. The car platform is orphaned again so no telling what the future looks like. Honestly, I would not mess with your car too much. Just keep it in great running condition. Save some money for parts that you might get wind of being out of production at some point so you can have a few extra items on hand. I've seen this movie before

Before I bought my SHO I entertained a limited, looked into the process of adding turbos, not recommended swap in an eb. Looked into tunes, scarce and mostly pedal commanders. Power adders are few and far between for the na3.5, but that doesn't mean it can't be what it was built to be, a comfortable cruiser. Unless full powertrain swap and all that entails is in the cards I'd invest towards keeping her primo and original.
