Thank you again for the assistance everyone.

If your plan is to go FI then start building for that. Or do mods you wont replace a 2nd time once FI.
Catch can
Oil cooler
Suspension / Custom alignment
Brakes
New lightweight Wheels with 245+ sticky tires
Clutch
Catless front pipe or just knock FP cat out
Full catback
Engine mounts
Trans mounts
Rear diff collars
Weight reduction
Aero
None of those are necessarily required with FI catch can and oil cooler will help reliability, tires to actually put the power down. Catless FP make a tiny bit more power, catback for noises. Depending on power level and sticky tires stock clutch won’t hold up long. Mounts provide a more solid and responsive drivetrain feel, suspension improves handling, brakes to handle the extra heat from stopping from higher speed with more frequency, weight reduction helps handling and power to weight, aero for drag reduction and down force.
All will essentially help support FI or even NA really and make the driving experience overall more enjoyable. And then you’ll be that much more prepared for FI. Really I’d probably do wheels / tires, catch can, and oil cooler then FI, and slowly add the rest.
