MP-8 v. Diablo Power Puck
I have been doing some reading on here about the MP-8. I know its a pressure box like the Puck I have. A lot of people have been saying NOT to run the MP-8 over 40% unless you have injectors and a good fuel filtration system because of high rail pressures. I don't have a rail pressure gauge and was wondering what kind of rail pressures I'm seeing with the Puck on 90 HP setting. I just want to be sure I'm not hurting anything. I usually run on the 40 HP setting. My other question is, should I keep the Puck and use that for pressure when I start doing other stuff or should I upgrade to the MP-8? Thanks

I think it will be ok for now. The MP-8 just has infinite adjust-ability, but that can be kind-of a bad thing when you want to stay with what works. I am not sure what you will see with the of 40hp, I really think they all read different anyway. Some trucks make more or less than others. The MP-8 is one of the most aggressive pressure boxes out the so, just like you said try to keep it below 50% and your injectors and relief valve will last a little longer.
What do you have in mind for a timing/duration box?

I have installed 2 different MP-8's in different trucks and both are stock except for the boxes. The one guy has his on a 06 and keeps it on 100% all of the time. It has been there for over 1 year now.
The other one is in a 04.5 and he is like me, only on at the strip.
It will make high rail pressure for sure, I can crank my MP-8 to 75% and keep my rail at the safety threshold.
For my personal truck, I got my MP-8 at an on-line auction site for $160 shipped. (I hope this does not violate site rules)
