Default Late 2003 Fuel System Situation

Friends,
I have a technical a technical question that no one around here has been able to answer so far, here is the situation: I own a beautiful 2003 Vette with a Procharger at 7lbs boost, LS6 Stage II heads, 42lbs. injectors, 224/227 cam, and a lot of other adds, at around 4500 RPMs or so, the car runs out of fuel, the stock fuel pump, even with a voltage booster is only putting out 20lbs of pressure at the rails, and I cannot for the life of me find a high output pump that would go in my car, (Chevrolet changed the design of the fuel pump totally for the 2003 Corvettes built after Dec. 03, which mine was) I even thought about retrofitting it with a 2002 Corvette fuel system, but that would be a huge expense, since I would have to change fuel tanks, sending units, ect. and one I would like to avoid if I can. If anyone has an idea, any suggestions or knows of a pump I may be able to use please let me know.
Thanks.
