84 8v rec's

Hi all,
If anyone has any feedback on spring swaps, headers or hi-perf cams on an 84 900 8 valve, I'd appreciate any anecdotes.
I've got a connection on a 84 900S 8V california car w/ eng/tranny swap through a saabtech friend. Though it'll never be my spg, if it had a few more horses I think I could make it a fun, reliable car that handles.
I spoke with Jack at MSS and we concluded that a header, a set of front springs and a rear sway bar would improve handling while an exhaust header and an 8000rpm cam would improve the power department. I suppose I could "swiss cheese the airbox. A future clutch job would allow for a lightened fly wheel as well. I'm thinking of tracking down some late 80's/early 90's spg or turbo springs for a swap but not sure what effect the weight difference between the 8V and 16v motors would have.
Looking forward to your thoughts,
Thanks, Steve Y
