No way to say for sure- Some have gotten nothing- others have gotten 6 or 8.
It will help you more down the road if you drop in a cam or something.

I say, do the upgrade, but only after headers, high flow exhaust, and high flow intake. You wil pick up 7-10rwhp, and even more torque. but only about 5 if all else is left stock.

Anything you can do to free up the intake and exhaust system will be a help. :D :seeya

I have asked the same question. the answer I get from several respectful tuners is MAYBE 5 hp at most. I have done enough mods and dyno tuned my car that the LS6 intake, lifters and cam would not do much. How ever if I was racing every little bit counts.
Mods done:
larger air intake
90 mm ported & polished TB
TPIS Long tude cermic coated headers
Random Tech High flow cats & X-pipe
GHL bullet Exhuast
computer reprogram for 6650 red line
better torque and HP though out the whole curve.
Transmission cooler
oil cooler and accu-sump
We tuned the car for a bit more torque then HP as the torque will help get out of corners faster vs HP is TOP END speed.
