Here's what I replace during a tune up. Cap, rotor, plugs, wires,air and fuel filters. Set the timing and check the TPS adjustment. Check the vacuum lines for cracks. Once you've done all this you'll have a solid fondation to start your mods.

well you can do a basic engine tune up checking belts by checking the belts for cracks in the belt grooves or splitting of the belt material. You need to replace belts at the recommended intervals.
