So 50 PSI is what the stock reg runs at? Whats the reasoning for setting the adjustable reg higher?

Jim recommends 65 PSI for all injectors in the PSD, stock and aftermarket.

When I was running the stock fuel system along with the BB mod, I was seeing about 55 PSI at idle. I would say when running you could lose up to 5-10 PSI with the stock pump.

Now that I am running the efuel setup, I have my system regulated to 66 PSI at idle. When driving, it dips down to 65 PSI.
