It's the G force causing the problem.

What side of the pump is the filter. I have never ran a filter in my fuel system

If you are using a fuel filter, check the Microns.

Jeff did you get a chance to check the volume in a fuel jug for 60 seconds at the front of the car and what volume did you get?

Should pump a gallon in 30 seconds. I think you just found your problem.
