Not the best mod, but a free one. Get a timing light and advance it no more than 2 degrees.

you'll need to use premium gas, not worth it imo.

I remember reading some tweaks web site once. This guy was OCD'ing on Honda timing. His whole web page was dedicated to this question. He had access to a roller and did dyno runs after bumping the timing every 2 degrees, from like TDC to 16 degrees BTDC. If I remember right, 12-14 degrees advanced was the sweet spot. Take it for what it's worth. I'm doing this from memory...
