Buschur has gone 9.0 on the factory rail/regulator. I also run an OEM regulator.

That is all you need to upgrade, Jim.

I remember someone telling me that with two fuel pumps you might need to raise the base fuel pressure to make them flow more efficiently. The fuel rail could become a bottle neck, but not as much as the two mentioned above.
Actually, Eric.... You have it a little backwards. Pumps are more efficient at lower pressure. The walbro/aeromotive/dw pumps ALL lose efficiency bigtime once they get to 70psi of pressure. Base pressure is 43psi, so at 27psi of boost, the pumps start to lose flow.

Injectors, on the other hand, flow more the higher the pressure goes, as they have line pressure helping to increase flow rate.
