Here is a little info to help you to size a fuel pump.
horse power x.5#s = pounds of fuel per hour.
pounds per hour -: 60 = gallons per hour.
gph -: 6= gpm.
here is a example . 500hp x.5=250#s
250# -: 60= 4.16 gph
4.16gph -: 6=.69 gpm at what psi you want to run at.

let me correct myself
fuel pump size.
typically at wide open throttle , full power, an engine requires 0.5 lbs of fuel per hp every hour.
a gallon of gas weights approximately 6.0 lbs.
exp. 500hp x .5=250lbs per hour
250lbs per hour-:- 6.0=41.66 gallons per hour
41.66gph -:- 60=.69 gpm
sorry for the confusion (bad day)
