You don't mention regulator type, regulator is what
makes pressure in a return type system. The pump
purports to be capable but something has to provide
the restriction to build head.

^^^^^ That, plus pressure is important, but you should also measure the pumps volume, cause I can get a tiny fuel line to make a ton of pressure and have no volume, vs a large fuel line with the same pressure will have much more volume, there are many factors to make a good fuel system.
