How much FP is too much for a CP3?

How much pressure is too much for a CP3? I know excessive FP would harm a VP. Is too much FP (say over 22-23 psi) harmful to a CP3? My Walbro (392) runs as high as 23 psi at times, so I'm worried it might be too much. Thanks!

some people have them turned up to like 40 psi if my memory serves correctly...to answer your question though...1,000,000 psi would damage your cp3

Cool, so as long as I stay under 1 mil psi, I'm good? That's what I figured, because I'd never heard bad things about excessive press with CP3's, but I thought I'd ask anyway.. Thanks for the reply Rusty!

the one thing to consider is if you are still using the factory fuel filter set-up, your plastic cap will be a limiting factor. genos offers the billet lid, but even it has its limits. if you want to crank up the fp, you should go w/ an aftermarket filtration system like a one from gdp or fass
