1/2 pound of fuel per hour per horsepower.

That is the SAE standard sitting still with the motor at a steady RPM, not accelerating As far as how much fuel you neeed is based on a lot more than the SAE standards Go to the track and find out If the car makes 300 HP it will neeed a lot GPH less than if it makes 500 HP Some racers get luckier than others with some fuel parts and have good result with what other racers have not so good results with I use to turn, adjust, the little Holley blue fuel regulators(one for each fuel bowl ) pressure up with the motor running until it would start to blow the needles off of the seats and leak into the boosters then turn them back down 1/2 lb (usually around 10.0 to leak, 9.5 lbs to race on )and race it My current set up has a BG 480 pump with a Magnaflow 4 port reg set at 5.5 lbs with the motor running, all mounted in front of the motor This motor is raced on E85 so it needs plenty of volume, not pressure
