Default Adding low pressure fuel pumps to 825EFI

Looking to add electric low volume fuel pumps. Currently running A1000 aeromotives but just running those off the tanks. Having issues priming so I think a low pressure pump may be the trick. They are 825-850hp, and there really isn't an option of running a mechanical low pressure pump because of the triple stage water pump on the motor.
What do you suggest?

Are your carbs emptying out or is the pump not priming ? I ask because sometimes my carb is empty and I have to run my A1000 on a bump switch till the bowls fill , going to put a check ball in line to keep fuel in the carb hopefully

Surprised it has a problem, is it mounted fairly low and sre you running a return style regulator? I ran a aeromotive a1000, then a essex then a aeromotive eliminator on my baja 272 w 1000+ hp, i could pump tank dry in fall with it then had no problems priming even pulling thru water seperator. It did have a return regulator going back to suction side of pump buffered by a fuel filter.
