C5 Fuel Pump Limit
I wouldn't try it. It can do it with a boost-a-bump. Also you might need an injector change at that point also. Depending on the 26lbs won't handle that very well, and the 28lbs aren't much better

I ran a stock pump with 450+ rwhp for a year and it held fine. Although the 28.8# injectors were maxed out. It was starting to make noise so I upgraded to the LPE pump and bigger injectors. The install is fairly easy to swap the pumps. I've always heard that 450-500 is about max for them.
the stock pump will work fine, you'll just need the injectors, I run 42lb lucas and the stock pump is holding good pressure all the way through the gears, and I'm boosted too so I'm pumping alot of fuel in under boost..

So what hp levels have you seen? Replacing/tuning new injectors is not a big deal at all...but I dont even think I will need new inj for a 75/100 shot. I will check the duty cycle on the dyno when I install the kit.

see I want to make it so I have to remove as little as possible when taking the car in for any probs (warranty)
The injectors are simple, but I dont want to give the car ANY sign of being mod'd.
