You should get sterling to do it. I've heard nothing but good things about his work (although I decided to go sidedraft)

Not really upgrade, just lock your dizzy. You just have to know what your timing is going to be set at, and lots of tuning.

Some IC piping may be helpful. And you'll want a rising rate FPR. Custom exhaust will be a must. I'm not sure what to do about the DP though.

New fuel pump, turbo prepped nikki, oil lines, T-fittings to tap, a custom downpipe (mufflershop could make this easily), charge pipes, bigger exhaust piping, fuel pressure regulator, boost gauge, and thats all I can think of.

I'm doing the same thing on my 85 GS. Good Luck =D
