I would buy a CD or stocks to save up for F/I. Nothing is worth $2,000 now. Just save it.

Spacer, intake, exhaust, HFCs and a tune (if you have enough left) in that order.

I hate it when everyone says "save up for FI!!!!" Quite simply not an option for a lot of people.

Cosworth Intake Bolt on 17HP its only $1,000
I would also do a set of cams there about $900
Plus Install. You can do the plenum yourself but the cams I would have them installed by a mechanic or dealer.
I would also get a reflash done either an UPREV or reflash.
If you cant tune your mods why get them in the first place

By tune I meant something like Osiris reflash followed by their tuning new maps for you - perhaps I should have put reflash/tune. You certainly don't need a new EMS just to get a reflash.
