Yes, pressure at the carby must be 4psi more than the pressure in the plenum chamber so you will need a regulator to achieve that. Therefore the pump must supply at least 4psi more than your maximum boost pressure. EFI pump will do the job.

Carby float chamber is indeed a surge tank, so no need to add another one.
