With hi-flo cats, "sport" exhaust, and a tune, around 25-30 RWHP.

Do a search, newbie... 
But, to be nice I'll answer your question.
My 2004 V dynoed @ 325 RWHP / 342 RWTQ with only a CAI and Magnaflow cat-back exhaust.
After installation of Kooks 1 3/4" Longtube headers, NGK plugs, and Granatelli wires, my V dynoed @ 351 RWHP / 365 RWTQ.
Horsepower went up 26.
Torque went up 27.
Furthermore, I believe headers are the cheapest way to gain HP/TQ.
Here is how I figure that:
Kooks 1 3/4" Stainless Steel Long Tube Headers w/ cats = $1275.00
$1275.00/26 rwHP = $49 per HP
Magnusson Supercharger (unpolished) w/ installation = $6000.00
$6000.00/105 rwHP = $57 per HP
Of course, it just depends on how much HP you want and if you want to keep your warranty intact.

Getting a maggie used is a pretty decent deal. ~$40-ish/hp
Probably the MOST economical is NOS. Big hp, reasonable cost. ~$10-20-ish/hp
CAI: ~$80-100/hp   | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
