133 GPH is the number I have heard IIRC???? Steve or super diesel would be others to ask.

Max flow of any part is always about 100 hp less than you want it to be.

Depends on RPM and psi, and pump condition, but just pulling a number out of my arse 3 liters per minute spinning at 3,000 RPM, or 47.4 GPH available for delivery less leak off at the injectors...

Flow is nothing without the corresponding pressure to go with.

what we need to know is flow at our optimal rail pressure IE @ 20K PSI

That much you'll have to figure on your own. My numbers were based on 500 bar according to my source...
