on average you could be looking anywhere from 340 to 355 with a tune...try this
Intake: ls6 im, p&p tb, lid, ftra(or similiar) stock bellow/maf
Exhaust: Pacesetter Lt(or better), ory, whatever catback(borla best sound..) cutout
Misc: Underdrive pulley, electric water pump, shift kit, gears, higher stall, tune
everyone's set-up will differ, personal taste in brands, sounds..whatever...just search around and see what you like, check youtube for sound clips of catbacks before you buy one...good luck man

But with full bolt ons I can see you putting down 340 rwhp. Now that may not sound too impressive but you have to remember that autos eat more HP through the drivetrain. Not to mention a bigger stall eats even more HP then the stock one does.
But take a stalled auto to the track with drag radials and the tables turn. I've beaten M6's with 350-380 rwhp because I can out launch them and then hold them off just long enough to cross the finish line first. And I only have 325 rwhp

Like darrensls1 said, stay away from the MAF. You dont need a new bigger maf unless you are pushing over 5xx HP. Flowmasters sound amazing, but you can find an exhaust with better flow for the same amount of money or just a little more. Try this website for some LS1 sounds that are produced through the exhausts available. www.ls1sounds.com
Good luck.

If you go to all the parts websites, and add up all the "claimed hp gains" you should have about 450-495 rwhp with just bolt ons.
Base- 325rwhp
headers- 40
lid- 15
filter- 5
ram air- 15
catback- 15
tune- 25
tb- 15
maf- 15
intake- 25
= 495 rwhp with just bolt ons!!! AWESOME!!!
Of course I'm just being sarcastic. The numbers change from dyno to dyno, car to car, day to day. Figure on gaining about 50hp from wherever you start as a baseline.

a driver mod is good for 35hp, and a sunny day is good for 5hp, if you turn the ac to the second setting it goes in to afterburner mode...i learned that trick off of a batman show....

The bad news is that the stock 4L60E isn't quite as forgiving to bigger HP. Make sure you get a big transmission cooler and a shift kit to help prolong the transmissions life. But keep in mind that the 4L60E won't last forever. Start saving little by little and then buy a level 2 built 4L60E from a sponsor like FLT or Performabuilt when the stock one finally goes.
Good luck.
