Narrow it down if you can. Headers? Exhaust? Intake? Tuned? None of that, some of that, all of that?

Gotcha. I don't have the answer but others will chime in. Your 'stock' definition is what threw me.
I would consider any bolt on as making the car NOT stock, cam or otherwise. Opinions may vary.

Generally speaking, the category's are bolt-ons, internals, and power adders. Guys going for power that include a cam (internals), usually do heads on a LS2, or FI/nitrous too.

You probably left power on the table in each case, since LS2 heads don't flow as well as the LS3.

The Ecs Novi Sl1500 kit with alky headers and a fuel system upgrade. 14 or so PSI depending on air temp. About 6k miles over 700hp. Lots of time spent in Mexico.

I know with the right cam guys are seeing around 800rwhp. I'm sure there have to be some pushing even harder with larger superchargers. Ask in the FI section.
