I'm really surprised that neither of the two august gentlemen who have
already posted replies mentioned a cam. All B30s of your age came with
the "C" cam. I was able to get one of the IPD street performance
cams for mine (probably one of the last ones they sold) and was VERY
pleased. Other possibilities would be a cam from KGTrimning in Sweden.
They list a lot on their website. If you can get a D or K cam from them
that would be pretty good and not have much of a negative impact on
driveability. If I were you I'd get an IPD lifter and pushrod set for it
also to keep the new cam in good shape.

The cam is probably the single item that will make the biggest difference.
