Perhaps...

Measure the supply voltage at the pump (Connector under the seat) when under
load.  It's sort of a 'known problem' that the wiring to the pump is a bit
suspect.  A new pump won't nessesarilhy improve things, if this is the
problem.

When I did the following mod, I noticed that the fuel pump connector under
the seat looked a bit overheated. 

Install a relay down by the battery to feed the pump power directly from the
(fused) battery, with the existing fuel pump feed just being used to turn on
your new relay. 

This mod should give you a bit more voltage at the pump, and also reduce the
current up front in the fusebox.
