    Fuel Pressure

    My tuner told me my injectors are running 100% duty cycle right now and that I can either do the very expensive injector upgrades (its already MFI upgraded) or I can increase the fuel pressure somehow. What have yall done to achieve higher fuel pressures? Or am I just stuck with my injectors...

    Low (fuel) pressure switch that closes at <= 5 PSI

    Increasing Fuel Pressure on Spider Injectors

    Does anyone have any experience increasing fuel pressure on the spider injectors? Its my understanding that there is a torx adjustment screw on the fuel pressure regulator. Some people have said they were able to increase pressure up to 70psi. Currently seeing over 100% injector duty cycle at...

    Low fuel pressure in first gear.

    Hey everybody! Due to the terrible nature of things going on I have been labeled non-essential and have been laid off. But never the one to sit on my butt, I decided to work on the old girl dealing with one of the most annoying features of the truck. It has a tendency to, when warm, bog down...
