Reasonably with all of the mods you mentioned you probably could get 70-80hp out of the V6 w out going F.I. but I would predict that to be at most.
But with what you just mentioned, that's probably easily 3-4k in mods, if not more. I guess doing it over a period of time may not be soo bad, but for around the same price you may be able to just convert to F.I. and get better power... Maybe, Maybe not....
With just full bolt-ons probably a 30-40hp increase.
Again there's no way of really telling until the Camaro is out....

Well, We already know that the LLT nets just about 40 flywheel horses from intake and catback alone, with no tune. My intake will be quite a bit more sophisticated than the one D3 used, so I expect to net about 5 more horses on top of that from the intake. Drop 5 horses because I'm not changing out the pipes, just the mufflers, as far has "cat-back" goes. At about 3 horses per high flow cat, we're looking at 10 for that. It seems pretty much the common conclusion that a tune would net 15 horses or so. That means that headers AND rocker arm swaps would need to net me 15 horses, with the tune, for me to hit my 380 mark. Doesn't seem unreasonable at all to me, and thats not even including the cam swap.
As far as prices being 3-4k? I don't know where you did your math, but let me show you mine:
Custom Intake - $150 - Made/Installed by me.
Mufflers - $200 - Installed at local exhaust shop
High Flow Cats - $400 - Installed at local exhaust shop
Headers - $300 - Installed at local exhaust shop
Throttle Body Port - Free - Done by me.
Rocker Arms - $500 - Installed by me/my step-dad.
Tune - $500
Total - 2050 before you talk labor at the exhaust shop, and my exhaust shop is really fair on they're labor prices. How you got 3-4k is beyond me.

P.S. - D3's supercharged caddy was still in prototype phases, last I checked. I haven't been following it avidly though, because I'm more of a turbo or naturally aspirated guy.
