For more power for buck there's sterling's carburetors http://sterlingmetalworks.com/smw_services.htm I'm rebuilding my carb with his guide, and have heard great things about his carbs.
And for suspension, kentetsu linked me to his post when I asked the same question. He has a lot of good info https://www.rx7club.com//showpost.php?p=9096540&postcount=9 he has practically eliminated all body roll!

I like it alot more than I thought I would. I'm a purist who would normally hate rims like that or an over the top colour like that but man, that looks clean as hell brother.

And you'll notice a pretty big bump in power going to a header. It helps quite a bit.

Love the wheels, love the paint - you might think about painting the black molding the same as your body color and then putting them on?

It looks clean. Not much on the spoke design on the wheels, but if you like them that's all that matters. A header will add a bit of power, but more over it will change the sound.
