fuel pump ponderings

I've consistently noticed that when I fill my gas tank after it is
nearly empty, I feel a significant increase in throttle response. So
much so, that I notice it without even looking for it. It stands to
reason that the cause for this is that the added pressure exerted from
the column of gas above it gives the in-tank fuel pump in our daks a
nice boost. Seems like our OEM pumps have room for improvement.

My peculiar pondering is: is there any way to increase fuel delivery,
i.e. a secondary pump, larger diameter fuel lines, or whatever? It
feels like it might be worth the effort.

ponderin' pedro.
