Yes, you can put an external fuel pump to give you extra psi.
You can also install an external fuel regulator to adjust and fine tune the lbs. delivery.

To check fuel psi you will have to tap a fuel gauge in the main fuel line, after the fuel filter is fine. Actually they sell guages that adapt to the fuel filter similar to B&M Gauges as well (for our cars).

Here's a fuel regulator that i'm selling (from NOS).

his car is carbed Juan

shepherd79: EFI cars use around 20x more pressure in the fuel line than a carbureted model. With the stock carb you should not exceed 3psi, I've been looking for an alterative bpump cuz mine's on its way out and I don't want to pay $80 for a stock style one
