Default Gz250 Hp Increase Tips?

Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a used GZ250 for my wife who just completed our states' MSC. The bike is awesome for her to train on, but after a month of riding, she is looking for more highway horsepower, as she has the bike full throttle most of the time on our hilly terrain in PA, just to keep the bike going 50mph. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to squeak a little more HP out of this bike, before she moves on to a bigger size. I want to keep the bike for my kids to train on in a few years, but it could use a little more umphh......
