Default Ls1 Build Horsepower

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been hashed out, but I'll ask anyway...... I picked up an LS1 out of a 2002 Z/28. It has the LS6 intake and I picked up a set of new 799 heads. I have a T56 (close ratio) 6 speed and a 3.90 rearend. I'm getting the vibe from some guys that I should pass on building the LS1 and get a 6.0 or 6.2 and build that?? This is my first LS build, so I'm not real sure what I can get HP wise, yet keep it streetable. I want it to have some real punch.....Budget dictates, NO supercharger. Sounds like a stroker kit (383) can pick up a good deal of torque.....Motor will go in a 69 Camaro, pro touring. ANY THOUGHTS??
