I'm looking to do some modifications/upgrades on my Mexican made HSS Strat. What are some recommendations?

Strap locks, locking tuners, and pickups.

That's all I'd do... seriously, and in that order, and I honestly would probably not change the pickups.
If you need/want more than that, other than cosmetic changes like pickguard color, you bought the wrong guitar.

Steel trem block, if not already? (See if a magnet sticks to it). You don't need to pay Callaham prices either.

Pearly Gates is a great all-rounder for your bridge p/up, should you want to replace that. But like CB says, do you really need to? Sometimes p/up height adjustment will do the job...

Cheers - Peter.
