Check out performance items for the 140 w/B20F. ipd has a couple of cams, and there are many others out there. You can do headers and a larger exhaust w/only one muffler as well. As George mentioned, milling the head is also an option, as well as a DIY street port job. But beyond that you'll need to bring more $$$.

It is a pretty good engine but has low compression ratio.

If it were mine I'd mill the head and think about a cam.

I've been happy with the IPD 7001 cam, lifter and pushrod

kit. Don't think you need double valve springs, etc.
