Port the throttle body flange, gut/port the intake manifold, get an aftermarket throttle body, send the cam off to get a more aggressive profile ground onto it, bump compression up, etc. Probably more effective use of funds to just do a swap though.

Re: F23a1 internal upgrades
Throttle body is not considered an internal. By internal is meant pistons, cams, etc. There is power to be had in upgrading internals but staying naturally aspirated is a great way to spend a lot of money without getting the most for each dollar. In these cars you want to go straight to forced induction, or the car will never be competitive. Today's 4 cylinder cars make way more power partly because most are turbo from the factory.
Put $2,000 into your motor's "internals" and then watch a brand new BASE MODEL car roast you at the stop light. Gotta look at the big picture man, its 2018 and your car had 140hp 20 years ago.
