Hi -
I'm in the same boat with my '92 900S 3-door (aka The Lead Sled). Aside from going the LPT route, I think we're looking at standard classic performance modifications - intake, cylinder head, exhaust.
Swedish Dynamics and others have less restrictive air filter set ups and headers/exhaust. Beyond that you'd be looking at porting/polishing of cylinder head. I don't think you'd want to go far beyond the standard compression as it's already at 10:1. Don't think anyone offers different grind cams unfortunately.
I would think (and I'm hoping...) a 10% or so increase is possible with revised intake and exhaust. That would mean about 155 bhp at the flywheel - probably a reasonable expectation. I would think more power might be possible, but would involve more radical (and less reliable) mods.
