With stock injectors you should never exceed 50%. Now that I have some Fluxs I run it 50-60% most of the time but occasionally turn it higher.
Like last night.
I was sitting at a light and another CTD turned onto the road I was on and eyeballed me as he let the black cloud billow from his 6" stacks. I got skeered and flipped it to 4x4 and turned the Juice to HOT and the mp-8 on 100%. Pulled up to the next light and it was on. Let's just say I could have left the mp8 off and the Juice on 4. I always feel bad when I whoop up on a fellow CTD owner.

Sorry for a dumb question, but how exactly does increasing the fuel pressure give you so much more horsepower? As I understand it, the MP8 is just a pressure box.

Thanks for the answer. Given more fuel is delivered at the same duration, do pressure boxes make fuel economy much worse under the same driving conditions?

Really depends. I ran a Edge EZ pressure box at level 2 (50hp) and saw a slight decrease in fuel economy for city driving, and no change on the highway.

I run mine on 40-50% all the time. After hearing some of the posts here i contacted T/S Tech , and they told me 0-100% would not matter. Also said no injector problems have been reported. So, if there is any issues with running it at a higher % , they should be contacted.

i run mine 100% most of the time for about 20,000 now with no problems the boys at Ts performance told me 100% wont hurt it at all.
How is running it 100% any worse than stacking it with a smarty or somthin and runnin them both 50% ?????
