Thats a good price. I'm not sure if the 2000 came with the LS6 intake, but if so then you can expect to see anywhere from 315 - 325 at the wheels. Some guys get stronger motors then others. And of course if you add headers, exhaust, intake, cam, you can expect to get more. Theres plenty of info on here of mods, and what people have used. My car for instance, has shorty headers, 2.5" dual - 3.5" single exhaust, a torquer V2. cam. and 243 casting heads. Dyno'd 411hp 380tq. headers were 400$, exhaust was roughly 300$, cam was 250$ used, and the heads were 525$ shipped. 1500$ for roughly 100hp increase isn't too bad, no?
