Upgrade Ideas?

I know that this is a common question for the 460 engines but I have been searching around and think I have tapped out the basic things I can do to the truck but like always I want more power. As of right now the truck is a 1992 f250 ext cab with a new 460 crate engine with about 7000 miles on it. The transmission is a e40d rebuilt around a 800 miles on it. As well as a new 4x4 transfer case with about 800 miles on it as well. Plus a new drive-line, rebuilt front end, new warn locking hubs, 4.10 gear ration, K and N air filter, heddman mid length hedders, custom single three inch exhaust to the rear including a high flow cat, smog pump delete, three chamber muffler and in about 5 days an electric exhaust cut off before the cat. Along with about every component under the hood replaced. Smog equipment, upgraded alternator, larger brake master cylinder including new brakes, new power steering, etc. etc. etc.

I have been searching the web and have looked at dropping a bbk throttle body on it, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, wrap the air filter assembly with heat wrap to keep the intake cooler, maybe a electric cooling fan somewhere down the line but what else? I don't feel like dropping a cam in it as of right now because she is my daily driver and until I can find a 351 windsor in a f150 for a secondary driver I can't have her down for more than a day, two at most.

Any ideas would be appreciated,

Have you done the simple things like bump the timing up a little and cut out the reducers that are in the H of the intake tubes?

You can always upgrade the ignition system and open your plug gap up bigger. My current ignition system is happy with 0.090" gap.
