Default Max RWHP on stock fuel pump

I've got the stock return style fuel setup on my 98 402 C5 running SVO 42's. I'm in the process of adding FAST fuel rails and rail mounted regulator.

What's the max RWHP that the stock fuel pump will support?

I would have to think that 450 is pushing it. I dynoed 426 on my last setup with no problems but knew I was getting close.

Lots of people spray 150 wet shot on slightly modified cars. I've personally sprayed 170 before I got a stand-alone so I would say 500 but that is really pushing it. I don't think the procharger kits come with a new fuel pump do they? If not there are lots of 450-500hp procharger guys.

I chanced it because I had the money to put in a new shortblock if the STOCK one blew. There is no way I would chance it with a BUILT MOTOR.

Looks like a fuel pump is in the very near future. Can I just add something like a Weldon 600 inline to suppliment the intank or do I need to replace the intank.
