There is a limited amount of tweaking that can be done, at low cost thanks 
to the QLCC.

It is a big change, and not for the casual weekend mechanic.   Its also 
very expensive - like 1500 - 2000 for a complete swap.

Any engine with an airflow meter though will probably see decent gains 
with an EFI system that allows removal of said meter.   I've seen that 
happen on a few engines.
