    It depends on how much you are willing to spend. I always start with the air going in and coming out of the motor. The intake is fairly limited on a motor like that (good filter/bigger carb) I would definitely throw a good exhaust on and let her exhale easier.

    Now if you feel like spending some more $$$ you might look into a camshaft and maybe a port/polish job on the heads.

    Just my $0.02
