After that it gets expensive, i.e. exhaust, cams, head work, forced induction etc, etc...

Does the same go for 420s for the resistor and throttle linkage?

I know it will not be a rocket but increasing timing on my F150 from 10° BTDC to 15° picked up around 12-13rwhp alone. So if I can bump that and increase WOT fueling I could potentially see an easy 25-30rwhp no sweat.
