Return fuel system question
I just upgraded the fuel system in my car, my question is what are you guy's setting your base fuel pressure to (vac line off reg)?
Here the new fuel system Fore dual 450's 1000cc injectors -8 feed |

Normally the stock 58 with vac line off, but some do go a little higher depending on injectors, fuel type, pressure drop, flow, etc...

I'm currently set to 58psi vac line off, I just was not sure if that was correct.

My tuner set my 850 to 58psi no vac- and sad it's what it's should be, but with 1400cc we lowered to 43 to make DD on pump gas

42 is what we run
Do go below 38 or the jet pump may stop working.
We run 42 on our cars. |

Depends on injectors, max boost, etc etc etc.
If you can support the flow at lower pressure, go for that. If you need to run higher pressure do that. Be aware that some injectors don't like super high pressure, so make sure they are compatible with the max psi if you are going to run a lot of boost. Also depends if you are running a 1:1 regulator or what. Talk to the person who designed your fuel system.

What if any advantage is there to running lower base fuel pressure?

I wondered if it would be beneficial too but my tuner wanted it set to base of 58psi and it was fine, plenty of fuel easily for 800+whp on full e85 with dual walbro 450 pumps and 1000cc injectors. Know of another same setup just did 830whp That being said run it by who is going to tune the car and see what they prefer
