If you want it to be a daily or at least close to it, I'd stay away from too aggressive of a port. . Ted (t_g_farrell) has done great work with his ignition set-up, I would recommend a direct fire mod like his. I believe he has a write-up on it.

Tim, damnit Zach! LOL

So I would recommend first getting it running as stock which means replacing
all the rubber stuff from bushings to hoses on the entire car. Then I would
think about improvements from there.

1. Exhaust - RB SP is the best and best value over the long term and is a well
tuned setup for later performance mods.
2. Ignition - do a DFIS (dual fire ignition system) which gives you a wasted
spark ignition which is much better than the stock ignition. Many writeups here
and on other forums.
3. Modify the Nikki for better flow and performance. I have a write up linked
in my sig but there are others as well.
4. Electric fan
5. Suspension, wheel and tire upgrades.

You do all of these and you will have a very nice performing street car with
very good DD characteristics.

Have fun and keep us posted on what you end up doing.
