I ran 2 450's with a mech pump years and years ago. I never noticed a problem. However the answer is yes, you need to run an electric pump. I run a Holley black pump with my 2 600's. I never thought that I was running out of fuel. My recent purchase of a wide band 02 sensor may be telling me different. I am still trying to figure it out soooo, get an electric pump. Monte
