Run them in parallel, Y junction before and after.  The fuel pressure
will be that of the highest pump (I think).

If you're worried about voltage to the pumps, I saw a suggestion on the
digest a couple of years ago that was one of the better tech tips I've
seen in a while, especially if you've got a trunk mounted battery.

Use the stock power feed to the fuel pump(s) to switch a relay, then
provide power to the pump through a new line going straight from the
battery, through a fuse and the relay.
