Not much... Save more money for a Procharger D-1SC.

Powerdyne LS1's have posted here around 390-410 rwhp, max. from what I've seen.

I liked it. Worked just fine, no issues except having to remove the stock fans. As with any of these kits that have you do that, it's a fight to get enough airflow to keep the car happy on a 100 degree day in traffic with the AC on.

Sometimes I honestly wish I kept it and just fixed the fan issue. Once it was installed, I just turned the key and went, but unfortunately you get numb to 430hp real quick

So unless your 150% sure you never want more than 430rwhp, step up to a vortech, ati, or turbo setup.

i think a powerdyne would be a good entry level kit but IMHO id go w/ the p1SC @6psi and you should be fine. Id say 440-450rwhp tuned w/ a good exhaust and other minor bolt-ons w/ the ability to upgrade to D1 later
When you say basically stock im assuming you do have some mods??? If so which???
