Eric is correct that you will be somewhat hard-pressed to do better than a factory "S" without a sizable budget. (As in, some people will spend over $20K on small displacement race motors, using exoticatanium innards.)

But the 2.4S was a relatively low-compression (8.5:1 IIRC) configuration to deal with the increasing emission pressures and fuel prices/quality. You could potentially squeek a single plug 2.4 up towards 10.5:1 but most folks target 9.5:1 as the max "safe" C/R for single-plug cars on pump gas.

You could potentially also look at wilder cams but again the engine would be less streetable and more expensive.

I personally think the 2.0-2.2S "zingers" are a lot of fun. They are not the fastest on the track, or the friendliest street cruisers, but the sound and feel as they come on the cam is seriously diluted in the larger, torquier engines.
