TPI in tank pump for drag racing?

Wondering if the factory in tank and 3/8 fuel line is enough for feeding a Holley750 double pumper on top of a 400 hp SBC

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Yes, assuming a pump in good condition, and a proper return-style regulator, up to about 400 HP. Above that, you should upgrade to an aftermarket pump. An in-tank type Walbro 255 should handle 500 HP.

Sounds like you're on the edge of a stock TPI pump handling it.
