Regardless of the pump, going from 56 psi to 76 psi fuel pressure equals an increase in 16.5% more fuel : sqrt(76/56)=1.165 if the pump can keep up, as stated earlier.

Yes the stock pump is inadequate, but the point I was trying to make was that more fuel pressure means more fuel delivered, with the caveat stated in the original post.
