A good service
get the timing set as per the guide
Drill and smooth airbox with new paper filter
Lightened flywheel
Performance Cam + vernier pully
Polished and ported head
Port match the inlet and exhaust manifold

Do those in that order and that should see you right!

Currently running with no rear seats (as Im fecking lazy) and if you can feel the difference between with and without I suggest you apply for a position as a Formula 1 driver. Ditch everything in the cabin and you will feel it but seeing as the OP wants a comfy car I dont think hes gonna bother with that lol.
