Default horsepower?

I'm looking to find out the approximate amount of horsepower that is possible to make on an 05 automatic gt while staying n/a and not tearing into the engine. I've done searches but i haven't been able to find to much information, although its probably there, so any input is appreciated.

Check this (although it's not an auto but should give you an idea):

Yep, you gotta figure you will NOT get above 350rwhp without some sort of power adder. The bolt-ons will end up costing you more than a power adder and with cams, will likely not run as well.

Without opening the engine in the most literal sense your talking basically the following:

Unrestrict intake
full open exhaust (headers,no cats, no muffs)
pullies/ewp
software

I'd say 310-325rwhp
