Default Fuel system upgrades needed?

So, I just bought a Vortech V2 Si, for my stock bottom end ls6. I want around 550WHP. I have bigger injectors and I may get a small blower cam. I was just wondering if I would need a BAP or new in tank pump for my car. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks!

Look at the A/A or the ECS set up that is all you need. Unless you have a early c5 no need in going inside the tank at your level.

I suggest a racetronix harness and atleast a lpe pump or boost a pump. I personally run all 3 at 606/531 with 60lb injectors
