Default 1984 L83 Vette Engine Performance

What is the highest horsepower you have ever heard of someone getting out of 1984 Corvette with the stock stroke L83 small block engine?. What I am getting at is has anyone made any horsepower with the stock heads? I don't care about the cross file but was curious if anyone has been able to get 325 horsepower out of their L83 with a cam swap and other tweaking but while still using the factory cylinder heads. I know the heads are on the weak side which is why I am asking the question.

I am not sure what the highest HP rating is with stock heads. I would imagine 325hp would be a bit of a stretch. It would also require a ECM swap for tuning.
