electric fuel pump question

no, not my race car... back to my suburban. i am going to put a fuel pickup in the bottom of the tank, and plumb it like my race car with an electric pump and regulator. plan is to put both in rear of vehicle...
here are my questions...
1. with say 7lbs of pressure should i still go through my mechanical pump ?
2. what pump would you guys recommend, remember flow is not as important as a pump that will survive 10-12 hours of continious running (i am going to belle rose straight thru!)

thanks,
captain jack

p.s. if this does not fix it i will have a 1991 suburban with less than 100,000 mile on it, brand new motor, brand new fuel system and absolutley no rust anywhere for sale ... DAMN CHEAP
