running out of breath in the 1/4 mile

Get a Carter HP4601 and put a regulator and return line on it. Regulate it to 6 PSI. Goodbye to fuel problems.

If all you have is a POS auto parts store replacement stock pump and you're trying to race with it, here's your sign. As Bill Engvall would say.

so would this pump be able to suck enough fuel through the stock line, or does this pump still require the 3/8th line to feed the beast?
