What has been derestricted?
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

If you drilled out the washer in the muffler and took the plate off of the back of the variator, yes, that is a bit slow.

If you've done both, it may be because of a worn out belt

Full de restriction is removing variator plate, removing exhaust washer and drilling 2 baffles form exhaust muffler.

The 1/2 inch belt mod is for the sprees fixed gear trans it wouldnt help anything with a front variator (such as your elite). Exhaust mod helps everything a little.

A belt will not help.

Never drill holes in the pipe, take off the air filter cover and cut out the plugged side of the intake, main jet goes to either 85 or 88, gear ratio can go either 10 to 1 or 9 to 1 this is according to my 1994 notes.
Can't afford speed then stay away from it!

Never derestrict a pipe? Something that has been probven to help performance?
