Was the pump sized properly? Sounds like it isn't providing enough flow to the engine.

If you can, get the appropriate 'T' fitting for the main fuel line and get a fuel pressure gauge hooked up so you can see it while you drive. That would let you know if you have a pressure problem. It should maintain 9-10psi.
