max SAFE HP on stock LS3 FP?

How much (more or less HP) can I run on a stock LS3 FP without a BAP or Z06 pump?

I have HEARD 700-750, but I wouldn't quote me on that. I would like to know as well. Hopefully some of the more experienced personnel will chime in.

This month's Hot Rod magazine has an article listing what breaks at what HP level. Good reading.

I think that would be the limit on a stock pump + boost-a-pump.

The stock C6 fuel pump runs out of steam ~550whp I believe.

unless all cars have equal drivetrain loss, I would assume crank/overall horsepower numbers would be used not Wheel horsepower. However I do not know the answer for the OP. just my 2 cents.
