You can gain as much as you want depending on how much money you have and how easy you want it to drive on the street.
My race car is 327ci with heads and cam and makes 500 whp and it's limited by rules.... A 350 with no rules can make some serious power.
Get your wallet out. You can spend over 100K dollars on a stock motor.
If you'd like to be more specific, please do!

An aggressive setup with the right parts will get you in the magic 500 range.. 
A few shops have done it already.. 
We just finished one in an automatic car and we are predicting 10.5's in the quarter mile.

I went from 325 rwhp (CAI only) to 510 rwhp with heads, cam, and an extra 62 cubic inches....
185 at the wheel gain which is about 217 at the motor but it's a mild cam and built for the spray.....

I've had two h/c FRCs. The first was built by Cartek in 2003 and made 456rwhp with an LS6 block. My second I bought used with a mild Vette Doctors AFR head setup making 419rwhp. Funning this is, they both had near perfect street manners and were no trouble in traffic, daily driving, etc. The Vette Doctors car was a little nicer simply because it had an OEM LS7 clutch instead of a carbon ceramic aftermarket unit.
Today, 480+rwhp seems to be easy attainable with a Trickflow heads, a good sized cam and a FAST 90/90 setup. I'm also sure with the lastest tuning tech. a skilled tuner can make even the more extreme setups perfectly drivable on the street.
