first get a tune up so your mods will have an effect, then 180* t-stat, intake, exhaust, pcm, a pulley maybe.

this should help out also

Ummm....BIG secret here. Anything available for the Series 2 has been available for the Series 1 for even longer. Including cams and rockers.

Not sure about the PCM on the Ultra if it has a pre-made chip, or if you have to get one made. I'd start with the basics and move up from there. When it gets time for a PCM, there is always custom ones.

I would recomend for some cheap performance to get some 2' tubing and cut a hole or 2 in to your air box and run the tubing form the in take to the front of the car to beable to pull more air in and colder air

Just like the small pic to the far left in my Signature. It works well, but not as well as a full-blown custom like the far right in my signature.
