quick afpr question

if you throw an adjustable fpr on a bone stock 3rd gen, what is the highest pressure you would be able to get out of it?

do you have to hardwire the pump straight to the battery to get more pressure???

I believe the stock pump will push 80psi. You could hardwire the pump and get slightly more pressure.
Why would you want to do this? You'll put unnecessary stress on the pump and injectors.

Re: quick afpr question

But he is asking, why do you NEED more than stock pressure? If you do actually need it, the proper way to get it would probably be to get a different pump, instead of hacking things up and unnecessarily straining your OEM pump and injectors.
