the answer is going to be based on what you want the car to do well. Are you planning on drag racing, auto crossing, just cruising around?

look into an adjustable panhard bar, Strano springs, adjustable lower control arms and relocation brackets. If you have a ton of power, you'll want subframe connectors too. If you beat on it alot in a straight line, get a body mounted torque arm to avoid wheel hop and move it off the tranny so you don't break a tail shaft.

weekend warrior is still a broad example. in order to setup the susupension you have to know exactly what you want out of it first. Strano springs are ideal for corner carving and all around improvement. With that big of an engine, im sure the power output will be 420+ rwhp, so do you really want to lower it or just use 1LE springs and some Koni 4/4 shocks. The adjustable PHR, LCA, TA, and SFC is a must in my opinion good luck. you can always call UMI or Sam for better info, Sam is busy and on odd hours lately due to personal reasons so if you cant get him call UMI either of the 2 will help you out.
