I only encourage relatively easy to do mods that are proven to work. Things like:
Oil coolant heat exchanger
Lean burn
Turning off the engine when you don't need it.

I wouldn't bother with an auto start stop just do it manually.
I'm not sure if any individual has adapted a kers to an existing vehicle. The cost seems really high for an unknown return.

Almost forgot another one of mine is the switchable thermostatic to cold air intake.
The thermostatic air intake actually allowed me to tune the carb for lean burn and have it always be consistent.
This is another one of those mods that will increase fuel economy with no loss in power when you need it.
