Default Horsepower limitations of Corvette FPR/Filter?

I picked up a Corvette fuel pressure regulator / filter for my LS swap in my IROC, but I started wondering if I'm going to run into limitations due to it's inlet/outlet size.

What are the horsepower limits of this filter? I'm expecting to be in the range of 475-500 RWHP, and was planning on perhaps adding a 150 shot on top of that.

Any other fuel system considerations I should be looking at for this horsepower level? I know my stock TPI pump will need to be upgraded, but what about the regulator/filter, and what about fuel line sizes?

Stock 3/8" feed line and regulator will still be well within the limits. Your injectors will need to go up, but they're more related to your engine and setup so you cant put a blanket X inj at Y hp

I've got stock LS3 injectors right now. Any idea what level they're good to?
