Here is an article where they build one up.

It's the 4th installment where they get down to the Vortec heads. Here's what they ended up with and it made 384hp(5700)/401tq(3600):

( They claim their porting was worth 13hp )

"GM Performance Parts’ iron Vortec heads that flow air like a wind tunnel. We achieved 384 hp by simply pocket-porting the heads and bolting them to our existing combination. As a quick overview, the engine is a stock bottom-end GM Goodwrench 350 supplied by Scoggin-Dickey with a Comp Cams 268 Xtreme Energy camshaft (224/230 degrees at 0.050-inch tappet lift and 0.477-/0.480-inch valve lift with 110-degree lobe separation angle), roller-tipped rockers, and the Vortec heads. The rest of the engine is outfitted with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, a Holley 750 double-pumper carburetor, Hooker 1-5/8-inch headers, and a pair of Hooker 2-¼-inch turbo mufflers. That’s it, except for the stock HEI distributor, MSD wires, and 92-octane pump gas."

Here's the article.
