Granetelli sells a pickup that goes in place of the pump for $95. It has 5/8 feed tube and 3/8 return tube. It should support a huge amount of hp and won't be a huge restriction like the stock pump would be.

I'm gonna drop the tank tomorrow and see if I can modify the fuel pump to just alow fuel to flow through it. If not, i will be buying that tank insert...i want to get away from using an electric fuel pump.

RE: EFI to Carb
You can remove the pump from the assembly, and take some fuel line (& hose clamps) and make a pick up. I took a metal, double male connector and put it at the end of the line so wont collaps when sucking up fuel. Mine works fine.

Just curious....did you use the black rubber fuel line or that clear plastic "aquarium" line?
