Best first mod is 4.30 gears

Then Longtubes and exhaust

Followed by short runner intake.

There is more that can be done, but will require more $$

Throw a set of U/D pullies into the mix as well.

I am not a fan of UDP's on a 4v and don't run them due to the potential problems they have caused.

As long as you stay away from the piggy back style (like the BBK) and go with a true dedicated dampner, you're good to go. The March and Steeda ones are great and not very expensive either.

If it's just a summer car, I would consider an electric water pump to free up some power as well, but at $300, they're not all that inexpensive.

Yes, the pb ones suck. I know there have been a few motors that went because the oil pump gears let go due to the UDP's(mainly piggyback ones) and high rpms.
