Upgrading the fuel system (again)

After already fitting 3/8 line and a holley mechanical pump, it needs more fuel. She drains the carby (Barry Grant 750 double pumper) at about 4500rpm. I'm putting a sump on the fuel tank, upping the fuel line size to 1/2" id from tank to the regulator then running two 3/8" lines to the carby from the regulator.
