Rail pressure on stock sticks

I'm running REVO and was going to adjust rail pressure to #3 to see if fuel economy changes. Just wondering if it would damage stock sticks. Thanks

The stock sticks can handle a good amount of pressure. I would suggest getting some type of rail pressure gauge so you have a better idea of whats going on

If you want better fuel economy, find a good balance of timing and accelerator response... SW#5 works best on the '05 (don't forget your right foot can make the biggest difference - keep max boost between 5-10psi and you'll find a lot more miles in the tank).
