Default V12 horsepower

I have been reading all over the place on horsepower for the V-12 reaching 600bhp and even 900 bhp.

That is all well and good. I would be VERY happy with 400 bhp.

I read that I now SHOULD have 265 bhp from a stock 5.3

I am willing to invest up to $4000 to gain some ponies, but dont really know where to start.
Has anyone DONE this? What is some REAL WORLD things that I can do?

Now if there is a way I can have 600 bhp, I would do it but dont want to invest any more than $6000.

I dont want to change to a corvette engine. I want to keep MY same engine. That is also key in this. It would seriously take away form the car if I put another engine in it. That would be like asking my girlfriend to put on a Jessica Alba mask while I make love to her. That would just NOT be right.

Once again. I thank you all in advance for sharing your "been there and done that" experiance with me.
