Default 2005 CTS-V Stock Fuel System..Safe Shot Size?

So I was wondering how big a shot you guys think I can SAFELY run on my stock CTS-V fuel system? I will be adding a dedicated fuel system (hopefully in the next few months) and am already relocating my battery to do so, but for now dropping the tank in this car is a PAIN and from what I have read on here boost-a-pumps are a band aid.

Mods are:
  1. N2O Outlet 78mm Wet Plate System
  2. Kooks 1-3/4 LT Headers w/ High Flow Cats
  3. Cold Air Intake
  4. Magnaflow Cat-Back
  5. PCM Tune

I haven't logged fuel pressure yet (I will be doing this soon) but there were no problems leaning out on a 100 shot, I am really looking at going 125-150 until I get the dedicated. Should this be ok or is it just not worth it?

You would prolly be safe but i dont see why id risk it. I was told i could probably get by with 150 on a stock pump but i wouldnt risk it.

With no internal motor work you should be able to get away with 100-125hp shot without a problem. You could even go up to the 150hp range but i would definitely put it on a dyno to check AFR. The pump in that car should be able to support what you are wanting to do.

Picked up a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump today for a good price, that should keep me safe for now!
