Default how can I make the K24A faster?

I have a 2.4 K24A motor just put in my car, I am wondering what I can do to make it faster(now only about 160hp), the engine Compression Ratio is 9.7:1, I want to make it to 10.5:1, what I have to do (and how) to change my Compression Ratio to 10.5? also any others things I can do? if you have any link about K24A, please post it, I am looking to get 230hp+, thank you

For starters, get an RSX-S head.

ok why did you pick that compression ratio. Why is that so important? To make power you need more oxygen. But with more of that you need more fuel. So get creative and think of everything that adds either air or fuel to your engine and then decide how you can make it add more. Once you've decided on that i'm sure there is some aftermarket company thats made a part for what you need/have in mind. But before ANYTHING else. decide your goals for that engine. daily driver + weekend racer, track car, little more just for some stop light skirmishes. whatever...then you will have a better idea as to what level you want to go to with your engines mods. Increaseing your compression ratio can have very negitive effects on mpg and smog. So maybe if you just want a street car with more power you may want to look intosome C.A.R.B approved mods for that engine. If you want a track car then is this engine really the best choice...? a lot to think about. Don't just start modding and picking numbers. put a lot of thought into this.
