Do you plan on turboing in the future? or are you just going to stay NA? If you're going to turbo in the future you should rebuild your engine with that in mind, such as forged internals so you can run higher boost and not blow the engine. Leave your compression at 9.0:1, that will be sufficient for daily driveing. If you going to stay NA then you should consider boring and running higher compression, say 10:1 or 11:1. Turbo or NA you should get some custom grind cams, go somewhat mild if it's going to stay your DD. Most of the easy performance things you can do to your cars and keep it DD'able don't realy involve the actual engine. Consider a CAI, larger TB, P&P IM, a header, high flow cat, and full cat-back exhaust. Anything more than the stuff I mentioned above starts to effect your daily driveability and can become expensive and serious.
