If you have a decent amount of money to spend, consider getting a custom trem, or at least a new trem block from Killer Guitar Components. They make blocks and tremolos for USA standard, USA deluxe, vintage style, and Import (MIM) strats. I have been ordering blocks from these guys for a few years. They make a quality product that does exactly what they say it does. They also have a money-back satisfaction guarantee.
I have two of their floyd rose blocks, one of which they custom made for me to the specs I had provided. I also own two of their "Killer Claws" and two sets of the "Raw Vintage Springs". The tone difference with just their block alone is crazy. I have their blocks installed in 2 floyd equipped guitars, and the results were similar. Everything seems more piano-like and all the strings sound full and warm with enhanced sustain.
I have the killer claw installed on my strat with the RV springs, but I haven't gotten around to getting a strat trem block from them yet.
After installing the killer claw and RV springs on my strat, I noticed slightly more sustain, and a slight warmth in tone, but the real difference came in the feel of the trem. I float my strat's trem (it's the two-point style, not the 6 screw style) with 4 of the RV springs. The RV springs are lower tension, and they stretch differently than todays stock springs. The trem has become more solid-feeling, it holds tune well, and it pivots oh so smoothly. The feeling is the biggest improvement to be had from the springs and claw combo.
Also, if you want your strat to stay in tune better, get some Big Bends Nut Sauce. This stuff is seriously magical. Apply to your bridge on the saddles, the pivot points, and at the nut and string trees. Works beautifully.
Also, Gorgomyte is a great thing to keep around. Apply every couple of string changes to keep your fretboard conditioned and your frets polished. Buttery smooth string bends after using this stuff.
