Many people run a separate "swirl pot" for fuel injected cars that use a typical electric pump from the main tank to the pot. The pot feeds the main pump to provide adaquate pressure to the FI. Return line goes to the pot so the first pump only has to keep up with what is acually used at the engine and then vent the pot back to the main tank for an overflow. This will keep the expensive main pump supplied at all times so you don't burn it out from cavitation. A side benfit is there are no slosh problems becuase the swirl pot is always filled to the brim with fuel and can be located above the main pump for gravity feed.
