Yeah, hit the Power button on the dash and drive that way all the time. It makes the throttle perform more like a normal gas engine vehicle.

It is not really possible with complete computer control of the hybrid system. This is not a performance vehicle or one you buy to modify. Enjoy it for what it is, a luxury commuter car.

Agree with Clutchless.

However, if you want to still entertain the idea, the most you can do is install a performance air filter/intake tube and free-flow exhaust like the some CT owners have done. But you're talking maybe 5-10 hp more at best and not worth the possible negative long-term effects of this finely-tuned hybrid drivetrain.
