If I am not mistaken its closer to 265-280 in the 5.3? I could be off but its been awhile.

In the back of Truckin' magazine they have a big list of factory trucks and all their ratings. It says for an 03' Silverado ext. cab with a 5.3 it is 285 hp @ 5,200 rmp. They dont have anything on the 4.8 though.

those numbers are correct for the 2000's, not sure about other years, but the HP has increased every year or two in all engines.... I don't know the exact numbers though...
