According to this article from vfaq, the stock fuel filter only flows 1.9lpm @60psi fuel pressure, which is only 114lph. When they turned the fuel pressure up to 75psi the actual flow only increased .1 lpm. The article also claims that the stock fuel filter can only flow a max of 2lpm, or 120lph.
Now I have a hard time believing this info since people have documented lower IDCs when upgrading to a larger fuel pump like a 190 or a 255. Also if this info is true then a 1g running 23psi is pushing as much fuel as possible through the filter, and an increase of 5 or 6psi would seem to knock like crazy, and I've read of many running 30psi + on a stock fuel filter.
