Not much more than 13 GPH.

Of course if I upgrade to fuel injection and tuned intake that should increase.

Can the explanation be that the sudden change in velocity/pressure caused by such a restriction cause the fuel to boil (evaporate)?

  Especially if you're using auto fuel.  Any way you can shunt around, or replace, the flow meter for a test?
Ordinarily, for a 5/16" line between pump and engine, I'd expect to see a 3/8" or 7/16" pump supply.
