I think cooling mods should be on that list. After CAI, and Exhaust the next thing I would do is a IC pump at the least.

Pending your budget the first 6 listed mods should stick with bolt ons and omit the cam and replace it with a upgraded heat exchanger and intercooler pump for the supercharger. #7 should be a ported blower and snout. A cam will require more reciprocating mods to be worth the expense but power gains will be worth it later down the line if you add #7.

Crank pulley/ supercharger pulley, billet idlers for preventative reasons, headers, tune and cooling.
