Now those answers are not necessarily correct. Terminal velocity is about 120mph so if you pushed it off a cliff, it wouod go a lot faster.
Ok, enough with the smart *** answers.
Any engine can be improved to make more power. Simply put, get more air and fuel in the correct ratio into your cylinders, make it explode real good and then pump out the exhaust. Repeat... a lot.
Improve the intake side of the head, improve flow through the head and ensure that the bottom end can handle the stress. This basic engine building procedure.

Most people on here are going to say that that engine is a lost cause. Its a pretty crummy base to start from, it really would benefit you to jump to the 88+ D-series engines, a 1.5 or 1.6, go with the 1.6L. THere are lots of options for those engines.
