fuel pressure question

After installing my Edge Insight on my 05 I am getting readings of 47-48 on start up and regular driving with readings at 45-48 and sometimes below if I accelerate quickly. At WOT I have seen it drop below 37, so I have been driving very conservatively until I install the blue spring. My question to those with more experience is will the blue spring likely cure this issue or do I have other problems? I might add that I am the original owner of this 44000 mile truck and as far as I know it runs great but I am on a mission to prevent as many high dollar repairs as is possible so please offer any and all suggestions.

Benny, absolutely. I changed both just a thousand miles ago and have began using additives such as the optilube and I picked up some diesel kleen cetane boost today.

Check on that going easy on the go pedal. I watch those gauges pretty close. Can u speculate as to what I can expect after the blue spring install?

after the blue spring install, u should have a little more "giddy up and go". u will notice tat difference. also, ur startup will definitely be much more responsive.
