If you're looking to increase performance, get a pump with a bigger head: your actual flow rate will be much closer to the pump's spec at 0 head. Or, do what I'm considering: a combination of parallel and series (like 4 ViaAqua pumps).

Good pumps are not only hard to find, they're also extremely expensive. I've specd out an Iwaki, amazing pump, but $300, so no way.

You missed the point of the special Y adapter going from two 1/2" id to one 3/4" id. As long as the block doesn't restrict the flow in this configuration then I see no reason for it not to work.
I get plenty of flow with my pump, I am only speculating that two weaker pumps may perform better than one.
