Question recommendation street elect fuel pump

Anyone know of a RELIABLE street electric fuel pump? Considering a Jegs or mr gasket. For a '71 challenger '94 360 380hp crate engine single plane intake. Carter competition 4 bbl carb(the correct cfm), 3.91 gears. Shifting through 1st and 2nd gear at around 5500rpm it's fine. In third after awhile it cuts out or bogs down. It still has the 5/16" fuel lines and am too lazy to make everying 3/8" so I was wondering about the electrics. The mech I have I BELIEVE it is 95gph. Would an Electric 95 gph mounted at the tank actually provide more flow?Or would I have to go a higher gph(I hate messin with fuel regulators)?

95 gph should be more than enough. but you should run a regulator with a electric pump,

You should should simply install the 3/8" lines. Mallory's high-volume electric pumps are pretty good, and should be more than adequate, I've used them for big-block applications running 2 4bbl carbs (with a 3/8's line, however).

this is what i do when choosing a electric fuel pump.. take the gph X 5 and that will give you the hp that pump can feed..pretty close anyhow. 95gph X 5 =475 hp
