You can safely run a bottle on it and get pretty close to 400HP without sacrificing any daily driveability.

Keep in mind with choosing your cam -- you're going to need tuning and if you've got an auto a higher stall to work with the cam as well.

Exhaust, LT4 Hot Cam Kit, and 100 shot I'm running high 11s -- it all depends on how you want to get there.

Spend the money on really good ported stock heads. Then you can run a smaller camshaft for driveability and juice it a little. Small cam will give you 330-350 and then you can throw 50-150 adjustable kit on there.
