All you are trying to do is overcome the acceleration of the vehicle and keep an adequate supply of fuel going thru the carb to the engine--- Unless you have 600 inches or something like that and you putz around at the starting line a decent pump and large enough fuel lines should be able to supply adequately the needs for most applications. My .02 cents flame away if you want to .... FED 387

Forget to turn the fuel pump on as you pull out of the lanes and do a burnout and see how far you get.
