Default Think I need a 2nd fuel pump?

So I got around to thinking about my fuel system again as we are about ready to fire up the motor for the first time in 2+ years. I originally had the A1000 external pump with the stock tank, but switched it out for a nice Rick's tank with in-tank Bosch pump. I never really checked the specs on the pump until now and I have a few questions/concerns.

I have the 044 pump per Hector at Rick's, but I just noticed it is rated up to 685-700 hp. I am now concerned since my motor already dyno'd at 700 REAR WHEEL hp.

Will I be running at the dangerous edge of not enuf fuel here? I know a lack of fuel is not a good thing for a forced induction motor.

I am thinking it might be a good idea to add a second 044 pump inline between the tank and the fuel rails.

Thoughts?
