The advance bit you're read about works by offsetting the flywheel on a curvy, which runs carbs. No use on a pointy which has fuel injection and therefore uses crank sensors instead. On a pointy all you need to do is get the ECU re-programmed, or put in something like a Power Commander which alters the message from the sensors to the ECU.
The only way you are going to get "silly" power increases from the SV engine is to go with a supercharger or turbo, but then you are building a time bomb. But at least that should help absorb some of that cash you are looking to burn. There was a thread on here some time ago from a chap at university doing it as a project, do a search or someone might be able to provide a link.
