Default picking the right fuel pump for your ride

I`ve read in articles about testing your fuel system to flow so many gallons in a certain amount of time, and then you see manufactures rate their pumps as being good for X amount of horse power,,What is a good (fool proof) way of getting the right fuel pump.I`m running a 9 .10 car at 2900# single carb,no NOS, had an aeromotive 1000, that was to be good for 1300 hp, but barely flowed enough for the flow test of a gallon at 30 seconds or so.Also was wondering if it is possible to suck more fuel out of the fuel bowls, than what can go in, without loosing any pressure on the guage? I thought this pump would be enough but I feel the bowls were running low, but guage does not drop,did go from .130 needles to .150 needles and it seemed to be OK, but I wouldn`t have thought that a .130 would be too small, any way just looking for some feed back on fuel pumps, you hear about these problems all the time,,,also they don`t recommend alot of the higher end pumps for the street.
