fuel pressure???

What are the pros an cons to increasing the fuel pressure to the cp3? I have the Glacier pump and got the tuning kit so I am just trying to figure the best psi to tune it to. Thanks for any help.

I was told on my stage 2 cp3 high fuel pressure is good for a dyno run but high all the time is going to wear out the pump a little sooner than if you was running a lower pressure. I am running 26 psi at idle and at wot

i'm running 28 psi at idle. you have to watch going higher than 30 psi cause it can cause the plastic filter housing top to pop off.

The walbro that I am getting has an adjustable boost . You initially set the pressure for around 8-10 psi and it only boosts the pressure up as you need it. That way it will last and you won't have that high pressure to the cp3 all the time.
