Nope.
I have done this for over 20 years. I started off with just an electric pump but even the best ($$$) seemed to burn up with all the driving I did.
Under the hood I have a Carter race mechanical pump and out back I have a Carter electric pump mounted in the trunk with a large Fram race filter.
When I start the car I kick on the electric pump till I hear the bowls fill and pressure stabilize. Pump 4-5 times and hit the key and it lights right off. Shut down the electric.
For most of your futzing around driving the big mech under the hood will provide enough fuel. Sustained WOT just hit the dash switch to turn the pump out back on and hammer away. Been meaning to add a WOT switch or even a low fuel pressure switch to have it kick in automatically but its been that way for so long its second nature now.
The gas around here is junk and evaporates in nothing flat. Even with the Carters on top of the tunnel ram out in the breeze the fuel is gone in a day or two.
