One could start by stating priorites. Are you looking for handling? Braking? Acceleration?

Handling: Spring Strut upgrade, RSB, FSTB. Tires.

Braking: Big Brake Kit.

Acceleration: NOS, Headers, B-Pipe, GAB.

Checkout the forum, lots of good information here.

So you cut open your airbox, then "put it back"? Got any pics during the install?

You should sell the aftermarket intake and keep the GAB.

Here's my suggestion:

As you have donated to the site, you have the ability to search. Use those terms in your search and do some research.

HA HA, yea I have a 2000 CBR 929RR if I really want to go fast, No car that I could ever realisticly buy could touch it. I just want to do some things to my car myself. I take more pride in things that way... guess I'm just different.

None of these are difficult mods, I know I can do these and more. He never stated his mechanical ability so I just offered what I thought were easy mods.

So, in closing, just browse around, use the search feature under those terms, and just educate yourself on performance based mods.
