carbs suitably jetted for engine
low pressure pump
inlet manifold
throttle cable

ignition megajolt or possibly the 2.0 8v dizzy coil etc

power gains are very debatable my old xe on gsxr1100s made 183bhp on the rr, mpg can be poor especially with fuelprices. Mine stared all through the winter no issues but you need a choke cable or it will spit and fart like a good en!
