I just had several things done this weekend at a local shop (Viking Auto in MD).
Prior to these mods, I'd only done the K&N open air filter in my '88 SPG. This weekend we increased the restriction in the BPC solenoid, thus boosting pressure. We mildly tweaked the APC and we put in a Viggen dump valve. I also put on cross drilled rotors, Super Blue ATE Racing brake fluid, new pads and polyurethane sway bar bushings. We also bypassed the fuel cutoff to eliminate the dash in your face syndrom (only experienced it on a couple of test runs and that was more then enough!!).
But it wasn't until I added the rubber covers at the edge of the rain guards that the car really started to move. ;) hee hee.
Anyway, these things will all help. I'm going to do the 3.0 Bar FPR soon (hopefully really soon, because the boost hits hard, but backs down a fair bit).
Hope this helps.
