Default L83 LP fuel pump upgrade

Whippled 5.3 in a 2016 Silverado with supporting mods including LT4 injectors and HPFP. Stock LP. 572rwhp on E10. Next weekend I’m trying different alcohol levels maybe up to around E30 logging data at the track. Plan to increase until seeing LP fuel or a/f limitations.
Disclaimer-I’m easily frustrated by search functions and have only given it a half hearted attempt.

What’s the capacity of the stock pump? I read about a Caprice PPV pump, Thats the current model and is a good option, I reckon? Any idea on the capacity increase with that pump?

Little different question, does anyone have information on mounting configuration for an LT4 lpfp? I’m wondering if I can graft one onto the long truck L83 mounting supports. If somebody had an old LT4 DI in tank pump I would be willing to buy it. Does not need to work.

Have you considered a JMS voltage booster?

Did you have any issues with clearance using the LT4 el pump? I have a 2017 Sierra 5.3 with an edelbrock supercharger. I'm upgrading what I can to get more power. LT4 hpfp is one of my options. But was told it might not fit. Don't want to buy a pump and have it not fit without mods.
Thanks
