You won't see much power gain without aftermarket cams, but you will get better throttle response, noise and midrange. Provided they are mapped well of course.
Agree with the above i think you've been mis-informed, probably by someone persuading you to buy their SC setup...?
I've always seen worthwhile gains with bodies alone on many engines, a couple of circa 185bhp standard Mi's, definitely gained on my Longman 8v even over it's previous carb setup & i have a 187bhp rebuilt GTi6 with std cams. Also, for the record which might be of interest to you gman, my current boosted 205 is certainly less fun than any of my bodied NA 8v & 16v cars!
As said, Wayne(Chipwizards) will also map your std ecu for less than your quoted figure, certainly worth considering if on a budget, although of course no doubt a proper Ecu would be more ideal.
Here's a similar set on a 306...
