Pegasus engine has maximum thrust figure listed as 20,500 lbf (91 kN) for Pegasus 10 and 23,800 lbf (106 kN) for latest variants of Pegasus 11. However, I believe these thrust figures are temporary takeoff thrust using water injection. Are there any figures regarding maximum thrust usable in level flight configuration?

Well, I found Harrier’s SAC sheet (Standard Aircraft Characteristics) and it had thrust figures for Pegasus 11:
So as can be seen, max thrust for takeoff using water injection was 20,930lb, maximum in level flight (15min restriction) was 16,350, about 22% reduction.
