if not, better have someone thats gonna pass you on emissions. It's pretty obvious to referee's out in cali.

With about 6 PSI of boost on a ATI D1SC or P1SC setup. How much horpower am i looking at?
PSI isn't a measure of power. 6 psi on a stock motor isn't much. 6 psi on a 422 with stage 3 heads is a whole lot more.
Could this be enough to be some modded 03's? Or will i need more boost?
There will always be someone faster. My advice is to build your car for what you want and let the chips fall where they may.
What you want to happen is gonna take some serious money.
You want perfectly streetable and more than 600 rwhp. Take a look around the site. There are only a handful of guys doing that without a bottle, and really there aren't that many that are doing it in streetable cars with nitrous.
How much can you spend? If you can't put $15,000-$20,000 into this you probably aren't going to get what you want.

Yes, it isn't there all the time, but it won't bother an emissions test either. You could do a mild cam (Like a 220/220 or something similar), a nice set of heads and a decent exhaust with cats along with a 150 shot and still pass emissions. Go for a big cam, though, and forget the emission testing. With the mild setup with N2O, and you're still over the 500rwhp mark. Nitrous=best hp bang for the buck.
One good thing about this setup is that it makes TONS of torque, and without nitrous and the cam, I hung with my buddy's stock '03 Cobra, and with the two, I outran a 550rwhp '03 Cobra. And I didn't spend a lot of cash to do it, either.
Just to get a power output idea of my setup, I made max: 483rwhp and 584ft-lbs. So rolling, those numbers are boosted by the ram-air stuff I did. The good thing about cam/nitrous is that I made that 584ft-lbs at 3,200rpm, and maintained over 500ft-lbs until about 5,000rpm. I'm making over 400rwhp at around 3,600rpm, and 450rwhp 4,700rpm with peak hp of 483rwhp at around 5,600rpm.
No, nitrous isn't always there, but how often are you ******* your car, just going down the road? Plus, it's gonna get you to your goal without spending thousands. These LS1's just LOVE nitrous.
Just my opinion. My setup works, and I stand by it.

Guy,
I would do Head/Cam and N2O. I know that you said you don't like it that much. But on a budget this is what your looking at.
Head/Cam package - Patriot heads/231.237 Cam will cost you around $1800 plus install. You will need a tune, and full exhaust to include headers, Y-pipe, Cat-back. All in all around $4000. That will be enough to hang with the 03 Cobra's and the juice will run you around a G...use it against the bad boys.
I would also contact some sponsors. If you tell any one of the sponsors what your goals are they can help you set up a plan to reach it.
Texas Speed is really good, and if you have the money look into MTI. They build some of the fastest LS1 powered cars anywhere.
Money no object? Buy a Turbo Kit. QTP has good kits. Really get crazy do Head/Cam and Blower or N2O.
Or last choice....just buy a Cobra...$1500 into it and it will be a beast.
