I stumbled across this flow meter for $13 on futurlec: http://www.futurlec.com/FLOWFUEL30L0.shtml
I'm trying to work out if I need 1 or 2 of them and where to put them. How much fuel does the lift pump move, and roughly how much gets recirculated under various circumstances?

I sure hope your not using 2.0- 30.0 l per minute...

Wowser, Howser, what a spread!
(2 to 30 Liters / Hr)
To convert that to American, I had to break-out a calculator.
(Jethro weren't here to cipher it for me.)
2L/Hr = 1.1267oz./min. (that's slightly over 2 Tablespoons) - boozers know a shot is only 1.5oz.
Divided by 4 cyl. means only .28oz./min each
, but . . .
30L/Hr = 16.9oz/min. (that's 1Pint + almost 2 Tablespoons)
Y'all realize that's flowing 4.22oz/min (over 1/2 cup) to only 1 cyl?
Little wonder black smoke rolls when the smoke screw is twisted.
If that tiny air inlet was bigger, could we turn-up the fuel flow to make some normally aspirated torque?
Or would acceleration suffer because of using the vast reservoirs power that are normally only used to get things moving?
Inquiring minds want to know this stuff.
Shalom!

What do all-y'all think?

No. Number two cause of damage to rings after air filter breaches is black (smoke) carbon from over injection/insufficient combustion air. A little more torque is realized from cranking up injection quantities past the smoke point, but the bad side effects are increased fuel consumption and ring damage.
The old 'six gun' was as popular as the cell phone in its time and just as annoying when it went off in the Theater.
