In my experience I wouldnt run a stock pump on a stock engine,a good aftermarket mecahnical is the least I would do and in your case I myself would run an electric-either in addition to or stand alone if you prefer.

I would definitely run an electric pump with that combo. Consider a sump too if you want to reach your full potential at the strip.

I like my Holley 110gph mechanical a lot. Seems to keep my 1/2" fuel line full.
Appropriately the part number is "389". Good luck.
