1-1/4 gallons per minute is 75 gallons per hour. That should be enough fuel for 1500 hp. I don't know how strong your car is.

But with the lines disconnected the pump's basically at zero pressure... how much can you pump at operating fuel pressure (6 psi?) That will be less, the question is - how much less  Exactly. I don't care what the unrestricted free flow is. I only care what the flow is with the complete system maintaining what I feel is the lowest operating pressure I could live with at the carb(about 5psi).

Aluminum fuel cell, Holly 150 pump, 1/2 inch line, and Mallory regulator. Car has made a couple easy 9.90 passes, should do a couple of tenths better. 1/2" line?!

Yes it is a sintered filter, is that a problem. Not much surface area.. take it out and do your same flow test
