Bump your compression up a bit, and make use of some of the bigger cams on the market.

Try Skunk2 Pro1's, Buddy Club Spec 4's, Rocket M22x, etc...

Would you like me to have Rocket contact you Chris?

As for the use of M22's: we recommend a minimum of 11.5:1 compression on 1.6 and 11:1 on 1.8 liter motors.

I don't see why not.

Just make sure you have the valvetrain to handle those cams.

Look into the Blox tuner B's. They have the same specs as Jun 3's and skunk 2 st2's and are cheaper.
