There are lots of questions to ask before any usable advice is provided. What's the budget? Are you looking for stock improvements or aftermarket? You already said it will be a daily driver so one can assume that reliability is a priority. I have a 98 Conv. and it has been my daily since new. My first priority was sub-frame connectors. Then as time progressed I added improved parts from newer models like '04 front calipers and rotors. A quick ratio Flaming River rack, KYB struts and shocks. Then, and only then, did I turn to adding power. A larger throttle body and plenum. Larger injectors, etc. But, as I stated, first and most important is to set your parameters and expectation. And make sure they're obtainable. Otherwise it will be the never-ending project.

Budget - I don’t mind spending money on cars, but don’t want to waste it

Looking for improvement over stock it can come from the aftermarket , or it can come from newer model or better stock parts,

What I really need to know is the swaps that work and if any of the popular parts don’t perform as advertised. For Example I would not mind buying a MM K member, but would like to stick with QA1 if possible.
