Default Efficient mod-install priority? Quick sanity check!

Hey everyone - need a quick sanity check to see what order I should be installing the followings mods so that it makes things easier (ie. more header clearance?) and or... so I don't repeat the same labor/task over and over again:

So here are the mods to be installed (all sitting in the dining room) in no particular order:
1. Longtube headers (full exhaust)
2. LS6 intake manifold with the correct coolant adapters/plugs
3. Spark plugs
4. Plug wires
5. Blackwing Intake - complete (SLP smooth bellow and coupler)
6. PCV valve
7. Fuel filter

Any other 75k mile maintenance items I should "well, while you're in there, you might as well do this...." type things?? Yea, I'm all about the efficiency.

I appreciate all feedback!! Thanks in advance!

What about swapping in a 160 degree thermostat while you are in there and get fans set to turn on earlier when you get it tuned.
