Default fuel system question

what is the factory fuel system good to power wise? I have a few boltons, intake, exhaust, tune, and that's pretty much it, i plan on putting a nitrous kit on the car in the near future and i was wondering what my limitations would be with the stock fuel system shot and hp wise.. I'm going with a direct port kit.

The guys who know first hand will chime in, but just to get you started:

From the Edelbrock e-force description for the C6 Corvette: (bold added by me)

These new E-Force Supercharger Systems are exclusively tailored to boost your performance to 554 flywheel horsepower and 515 ft./lbs. of torque (with stock fuel pump) or 599 flywheel horsepower and 547 ft./lbs. of torque (includes high volume fuel pump).

from everything I've read so far is that above 600 hp you either need a boost a pump or some system that will support the power. but that's juet my understanding.

500 FI, about 550 N/a with the stock ls2 pump, will require bigger injectors. stock injectors? 475? i dunno the answer to that.

My LS2 was 89% duty cycle at ~400 rwhp. Stock LS2 injectors will go static around 450-475 rwhp if I remember correctly. The stock fuel pump is good to 500, maybe a bit more.

Currently I have 485 rwhp with LS7 injectors at 74% duty cycle and a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump, N/A at 12.5 AFR
