Power-wise, exhaust and a reflash / chip are going to be your best bang for the buck. They are also easy to return to stock if need be. Handling-wise you may want to consider stiffer / thicker sway bars, springs or a full coilover suspension. Brakes are always a great idea too, I would personally avoid stainless lines as they make the pedal too firm for my liking.
