Mods with OBII

I have some questions regarding modifications with OBII. I just bought a 98,
318, 5 speed and I don't have the service manual for it yet. What exactly
happens if the computer gets a fault, like when it doesn't run through a
complete warm cycle? Does the truck go into some type of limp in mode where
you have to see your friendly Dodge dealer to get it running again? If you
install a 180 degree or lower thermostat what effect does this have on
performance, emissions and the computer itself. What are the limits in
increasing air flow before you have problems? I understand OBII is harder to
work around but there must be ways to approach these concerns.

Has anyone done anything other than airboxes and exhaust mods to a vehicle
with OBII? I would like to increase performance, and hopefully keep it close
to legal.

Thanks,
Wayne
