Think you've been getting some very bad info. EVERY 700+ rwhp claim that I've seen for an LT1 has fuel upgrades of some sort. Those who claim 'stock fuel system' on 700+ are lying, and they have, at minimum, added a methanol injection system. Don't know about you, but my stock LT1 fuel system did not have an extra injector/injectors to squirt methanol (a fuel) into the engine.
Put the bullshit aside and you'll see that the stock LT1 fuel system will max out probably around 550 to 575 rwhp or so on a supercharged car. I'm talking low altitude numbers, but even corrected for 2300 feet elevation will only be a little higher. Real hp of course is what matters, but most people ignore that aspect. Once you have a more realistic assessment of the relationship between your existing power level and the stock fuel system, then you can better understand what jumping up another 200rwhp means with regards to fuel supply requirements.
