Does the L-98 have the sping-lock connectors from the fuel line to the fuel rail? If it does you may have to get a custom fuel rail to do it. That way you can change the connector. I've looked and haven't found a spring lock connector anywhere. Also if you do find the right connector you will be going back to the same small diameter tubing, causing the bottle neck, and negating everything you just replaced. Just something to think about.

It can be done, but not very easily. The Corvette fuel rail is complex in that the injectors are a 45 degrees and the bolts that hold it down are horizontal to the intake. I actually modified mine to run AN fittings at all four corners because of my fuel demands. However I would not do what I did if I had to do it over again. You can buy blank fuel rail cheap. Have machine shop machine the injector holes for you. Then you will need to mount it and make a bracket out aluminum that will get to the mount bosses. Once you made a braket you can get the machine shop to TIG it on. This will allow you to run a 6 or 8 AN fitting into the fuel rail and a remote regulator.

I am going to take the pictures today but I do not know how to load them, if you give me your e-mail I can just send them to you. In order to do what I did to the rail (which I do not recomend) you need to have a good friend that is a machinest. I would suggest starting from blank rails and just welding the correct brackets to it. This is what I am going to end up doing later.
