Go loud and mean, as I heard someone say at the track my first time I went with my TA, "I don't race F-bodies, they are unpredictable, you don't know if you are racing a stock F-body or a 700+ RWHP F-body! 
"
Sleeper look is nice, I get it with my GTP and it blows peoples mind when I run neck and neck or beat some cars with my four door!

How much a sleeper is a 350 stock HP car?
Are you going to drive it alot if so keep it tame for your own sanity. If a toy make it loud if that's what you want.
You can make awesome power and not wake up the state too or you can it's up to you.

Most stock LS1s do not make quite that much power. Close, but not quite.
Most people believe that early model LS1 Z28s/Formulas only made the 305 hp GM rated them at. If you do some decent modifications you can easily make 400 rwhp. Take a look at my car through the "complete mod list" link in my sig. Notice that over 50% of respondants would guess it is a V6 while parked. If I had a sleeper exhaust I could have what most people think is a V6.....running 11's naturally aspirated.

There is more to power than the engine. The intake/exhaust on the Vette was a little bit better. Power outputs really were about the same, but most people would never believe that...
