Who runs pressure, and when?

Read alot about injector issues, so I was wondering how many of you run pressure and when. I love my Smarty Beta 4.2 but Im not sure if I want to keep running pressure everyday, but I dont know that I can go back to no pressure. So how many of you-

1. Run pressure daily
2. Run pressure only at the track/Dyno
3. Never run pressure


Tried to set this up as a poll but I am not that smart.

I run pressure all the time. It just seems to make everything work better together.

I have ran an EZ for the last 45k miles, by itself and stacked with various other performance mods. I leqve it on Level 1 for daily driving and up it to 2 or 3 for the track.

I only run pressure when I "need" too, kinda like DZ04 does, I just turn it up when the extra umph is needed.

I keep the Quad on PL1, since the throttle response is so much better and the mileage improves.

I have run the EZ on all different levels since new and I have now have 27k on my truck. Since I have been stacking it with the Juice, for about a year and a half now, I leave it on level 1 all of the time and go to 2 if I want to get smart.

Omaha,
Do you run the MP-8 wide open or do you go to 40 or 50% for daily driving?

Quad's XZT is on probably 80% of the time in my truck. It does just make everything better.

I run about 20% all the time. However, I got after a Furd one time and turned the MP8 all the way up, forgot about it and ran that way for 3weeks . Stock injectors and CP3.

It's on about 60%. That hits a max of about 26k on the rail gauge for me.

Thanks guys for the replys. While I wish I had it in me to run her full go all the time I dont. After reading this I think I need to relax and not worry about running a little pressure everyday. Plus I have a spare set of injectors, so who cares if I beat them to death .
