Yep. I think I have seen dyno results posted that after full exhaust, plenum and TB and chip/tune, you can get more HP. I think it was 30-50hp for the whole batch.
I've also seen some results that showed a bit more peak power, but the lower rpm range actually loses some power, which has folks saying that for the track it might be good, but for the street it actually hurts.
You could always throw a turbo on it.

But then I assume you're more concerned with keeping things simple, not complicating them, especially for a daily driver.
