not sure exactly but i think any year ls1 fuel system will take at least 400rwhp or more and the 98 can take around 500 or more because of the bigger injectors.

98 and 01 injectors can handle about 475 rwhp reliably, not sure about '02.

I know you said n/a, but 2 yrs ago my 2000 Z28 (f.i. car) ran out of fuel at 4800 r's at close to 400 rwhp with stock injectors. The kit I have (incon) was supposedly good to 450rwhp on a 98 which had slightly larger injectors. just another datapoint for you.

we were thinking it would be in the mid 500 range on an 01...we were guessing 30-32lb injectors, but what about the fuel pump?
Thanks
