new gn owner please help

Hello, I have purchased an 84 Grand National a car I have always wanted. That's the good news. Bad news is that I know nothing about performance upgrades for the car. It is in pretty good shape so whatever I do I would like to easily be able to return it to stock. I wat to have the turbo upgraded and an intercooler installed but that is it for now. I had my mechanic go through it and he said there were most likely some minor engine modifications. What are some of my options and where should I look for them. Thanks in advance for your input. I will post some pics later tonight.

I would do the upgrade to be able to run a 86-87 chip.
Cold air induction.
Upgrade fuel pump and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Scanmaster
Alky injection

Don't forget the hotwire kit for the pump
