Well, if they added a 2nd pump at a later date than the single pump version, that might be very telling. My 90 300SE is single pump, but it's not feeding 8 cylinders on a 300hp motor. You really don't want a lean condition during WOT. The dual pumps are connected in series in order to boost pressure rather than in parallel to increase flow. There is a reason they did that. I can only speculate as to what it is, but they didn't just decide to add a couple hundred bucks worth of hardware for no reason at all.
