proper fuel pump for my application?

i'm building a 383 for my 1987 camaro. i'm running dart iron eagle 230cc heads and a holley proform 750 carb.

i want to know what the best fuel pump to use would be? how many gph?

i figured an external fuel pump would be easier to work with than an in-tank.

i'm on a budget. i came across this one from jegs

That would probably work, but you would still need to drop the tank and remove the existing in-tank electric pump.

Be looking at more like this:

I had a holley black pump, which is rated higher than the jegs brand pump you posted and it wouldn't keep up with my 355 vortec head combo at the top of 3rd. So IMO I'd get the one listed above or similar.

the one you listed looks really nice, but it said it only flowed 110 gph while the jegs one i posted flowed 130 gph. will that difference in flow rate not really matter?
