Do bigger injectors lower rail pressure?

I don't think you'd see the pressure drop you are after with bigger injectors. The high pressure pump will compensate for any difference in fuel flow through the injectors.

I think so anyways...

the only way you will get a lower rail press. is if you have a leaking injector connector tube or a high press. pump , low pressure pump or lift pump failure, and fuel starvation problem , the relief valve in the CR rail is 1600 bar press. relief and the high press. pump can reach that no problem , we also have a test capability to check that with insite program. without causing damage to the press. relief valve .

Well, tonight I got on a empty straight stretch of highway and hammered it to the floor. Hit 28,3xx psi according to the outlook

The truck still runs good though, so it looks like i am lucky so far.

And as far as the clutch, its just about fried

My thinking on bigger injectors lowering rail pressure was kinda like water pressure coming out of a garden hose. The smaller the opeing at the end of the hose, the higher the pressure but Realsquash made a good point that the high pressure pump will make up for the lower fuel flow.

I guess there is only one way to find out and that is to get some injectors. I really would like to get some EDM's but unless I can get some soon I will probably just get the DD2's. Are you listening Mr Don?

Sorry should of made myself more clear. Its on the Outlook, not the powerpup where you can choose to set it as if you have another box stacked with it. I almost consider the powerpup and outlook one unit since they work so well together that I get them mixed up once in a while

On the outlook if you have a another box stacked with the popwerpup, you are supposed to choose 03-05 D wM (dodge with module?) but if you want max power than you just select 98.5-05 D O (dodge other)

According to Banks, 27,500 is the Max service limit.

Bosch claims that the rail will handle 29k all day long, and the valve pops at 31k. I just had the CP3 replaced due to a high pressure regulator failure, it was creating a wicked amount of rail pressure, the bypass valve on the rail actually had stress cracks. I was tickled to death when I heard the Outlook actually gave rail pressures, hopefully I can talk the ol' lady into getting me one for Christmas...
