Default LS2 power increase with L92 heads

I am thinking of upgrading my heads to L92 and L76 intake. What is the real horsepower gain? I have all the other normal bolt on's already.

We did a 2005 Corvette a long time ago and left everything else the same in the car (already had headers on it) and I want to say it gained 27 rwhp and about 10 lbft torque.

Interestingly though it did loose some low end torque below 2500 RPM (I think 10-15).

Decent upgrade though, for sure you would see more power by doing that with a larger cam to take advantage of the bigger runners in the heads.
