Just do the typicals - rebuild with slight rebore, upped compression, slight cam upgrade, match-port, light head port (more of a clean up than anything), decide whether you want to keep the Niki or upgrade to a webber - the former being more economical & reasonably sufficiant for your application, 4-2-1 extractors, you already have the exhaust, after-market filter or cold air induction, and for economy's sake - only ever use W.O.T on days that begin with S. : o )
Just a thought.
Cheers,
Jasyn...
