Of course, casters can have the following to raise their SR rolls:
-Feats (+4 max before epic)
-Spell power from Archmage/Heirophant
-Item with [enchantment] bonuses (max I give IMC is +2, as in robe of archmage)
-Specific powers of PrC (+2 vs outsiders from Incantatrix)
-Caster level +x items (price for slotted item according to IOUN stone = bonusxbonusx15000, max +3 before epic, though +2 is more reasonable)
That means up to +10 to 12 bonus to SR rolls if the caster really wants to get the spells through.
