What are the best mods for the $?
Bang out the cats on the stock exh/cat back?
Modify stock intake/carb/K&N?
Lower temp thermostat?
Adjust ignition timing?
Fun with porting?

Looks like you already listed it all 
The main power restriction on a stock 1st gen are the factory cats. Replacing them with the RB cat replacement pipe would be the single biggest power gain the car will have or have one made at a muffler shop at less expense. Hollowing them out would be free. Drilling the stock air cleaner would be free. The engine operates best with the stock thermostat in place.
Stock RWHP would be around 85 ?

If I go with less restrictive exh and opened up air box, do I have to re-jet the carb? Be specific.
What's a good brand for a full exh system? Headers to tip. How much $? How much power increase?
85 RWHP stock? Seems like more.
Leave timing alone? Is it even adjustable?
