The most HP Lq4/9 or LS1 block with my setup

The most HP Lq4/9 or LS1 block with my setup I have a Comp 228/228 5.91 on 111 LSA cam Stock 243 Heads 918 springs and PR.
Its $750 to put this in an High milage LS1
I can have another engine put in for $400.00 plus parts
I can buy an Lq4/9 shortblock for about $700.00 and do the heads cam myself outside of the car. My question is how much more HP will the larger CI LqX series block give me with supporting mods?
Will it be enough to compensate for the 100 lb difference? This is an NA daily driver that will not see much racing other than redlight bursts to about 80 from time to time. I did ask about HP but honestly I just want to be quick period I could care less about the true HP.
I can go up in CI for $400-600.00 at this point maybe cheaper if im lucky. But ill add weight.
I know I could add another cam have head work done ... but lets not look into that route.
