A low pressure piston lift pump seems to be a recommended upgrade. The only real way to know is to get a fuel pressure gauge and keep an eye on it.

Factory lift pump is on the side of the motor, mechanical like the older gasser motors.

Airdog would be a bit more pricey than the mechanical upgrade but it's a LOT better system.
