For any worthwhile gains (ie more than a few hp), you're looking at a full rebuild with high-comp pistons, bigger cam, plenty of head work (the 2S cylinder head is piss-poor) and a bigger carb or twin-carb setup. This will easily cost more than an engine swap, and give inferior results. To put it bluntly, it's a waste of time and money!
If you're happy with a modest upgrade, the suggestions given so far are quite valid - free-flowing inlet and exhaust, and maybe a bit more ignition advance in conjunction with high-octane fuel (eg Optimax). I wouldn't expect much more than 5hp for these mods though...
The moral of the story: don't try to polish a turd.
