i am kind of new to this stuff but from what i have read you can drill the baffles in your exhaust and i think you can mill your head but if i am wrong someone will tell you there are many people on this site that know much more than i do.

the sr dosnt need none of the restrictions becouse sr basically is derestricted allready. so high speed pully is the most speed gaining mod for its money. it may take a little bit to get too that highest speed but for stock it is not all that bad. im used too high way speeds easy. on a fully moded ped so its hard too tell anymore since i own moded and not moded thge only thig i can tell is there is a big difrence(by far).

my friend has an elite Sr.
we just put a high speed pulley and 9:1 gears ($105 after shipping from VTcycles) The stock speed was 35mph. After this it is about 50mph. The take off does slightly drop, but over all the bike performs well.
the top end is 49-52mph for him, pending on wind. And with my fat * its about 45-48mph. This also keeps the bike quiet, so you wont * off everyone that lives by you. Its a good cheap set up.
as for free upgrades, there really isnt allot on an Sr. You can take a long drill bit and stick it in end of the pipe, drill a few baffles, Gives much better take off, but it also makes your bike very loud.

An impact gun helps with the variator sand the rear pully that has to be removed for gear install. Otherwise its uncover, swap parts and put together. I think you might need a press for the gears.

the high speed pulley is quiet easy, but you will need an impact wrench.

this just shows how to check the rollers, a high speed pulley kit is basiclly everything you see in the last pictures.
as for the gears, there kinda hard, but i mean, but if you know someone with a press its not that bad.

its about as hard as it looks.
jakes bike took like an hour or two, not including the time to press the gears.
