Depending on what head, maybe 40+ hp. But you have to remember when your taking your car to 8000+ rpm's. you have a stock botom end. they suck. Many people, including myself put ARP rodbolts on the connecting rods. TRUST ME They are the first things to break. After you do that, your bottom is good till about 9000 RPM's. Your going to want to put higher compression Pistons in. I think stock ls, plus like a b16 head is 9.?:1 compression.

I have a b16 head, b18a1 head. P30 pistons, and I'm at 12.6:1 compression

B16's are good for turbo, GSR's are good for High compression
