much gain to be had from leaning up?

Definitely. Depending on how aggressive your timing map is, you may need to dial back a degree or two when you take out that much fuel, but it will net you gains upwards of 20whp

20whp from just changing fueling from 10.5 to 11.5 afr? Is that what you are saying?

it will save you some gas. and in my experience the car will feel better.

depending on the afr I have seen 5 mpg up to 8 mpg on a race track. the 8 might be responsible for the new motor though.

there is actually no definite answer... it's here in Reno I can tune for 11.5 but I don't gain any power going from 11.1 to 11.5.. even with adjusting timing. so you might be able to lean it out some and add 5- 10 whp but 20 is a considerable amount. just my .02

anything under 11 will lose power unless its spraying methanol at the same time. 11.0-11.5 is about a draw, but a little leaner starts to pick up a little power. I wouldnt quite say 20whp, but 10whp definitely.

Leaner is meaner as long as the EGT is under control.

What is the octane?
