All your questions can be answered with some quick searching. The generally accepted "safe limit" on a stock lower end LS1 is around 550whp. Some say more, some say less. Personally, I wouldn't run more than 10psi on that setup and I'd be sure to have a good intercooler and I'd run meth/water with it as well.

As far as the fuel pump, on the stock motor with 10 psi or less a single walbro with hotwire kit will do you fine.
Sorry man, from what I see in the pics, you will need some work to run more then 10psi. You need a 3 Bar MAP sensor, not a 6.0L MAF sensor. You are going to end up doing away with the MAF sensor and running a SD tune. Your fuel rails are stock so I would expect the fuel system is stock from front to rear. I would bet you will need larger injectors to run 10psi. Not to mention the stock pistons are not forged, and the compresion is 10.25:1 or so.
You have some work left to do to be able to run 10psi on it the right way, but with what you have 10 psi is going to be about it for the time being.
Is this an auto or M6? Does it have the factory rear end in it? Factory drive shaft?

Do you have some one close to you that can tune it for you or do you have your own tuning software? It will need to be tuned after you finish the changes. If you have not upgraded the fuel pump you are going to have to do that too, as well as the fuel rails, and you really need to go to a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator too.
With 10 psi I would expect for you to see 550-600rwhp. If your trans is stock with a stock clutch, you should expect it to give up soon, as well as the drive shaft and the stock 10 bolt rear ends are complete crap. Make sure you have ARP wheel studs on the rear end or else your car could end up like mine.
Good luck man.
