Snake oil?

seems like a legitimate way to look at it mathematically.
So if you could gain another 800psi to get near 3,000 then you would gain 5,600psi fuel injection pressure out the nozzle. (In a perfect world of zero variances and losses)
Another 5,600psi is quite a substantial gain

Is that kind of pressure practical out of stock injectors? Was reading an old thread from Bill at PHP where he was talking about the stock AD being empty at 3.xx PW and anymore than that will drain ICP. With a tune running 4.43 PW I think any notable gain is something. Not 100% snake oil, different application, injectors may yield different results.

Think of it this way. You have an air compressor with a gauge at the tank. But you run equipment at the end of a hose. Smaller diameter hose equals less volume of air and less power at the tools (I’ve experienced this). The tank gauge reads the same with both hoses. You’d have to measure the psi at the tool to see the difference.

I agree with your math theory but still think we don’t have data showing what the injectors are seeing. The ICP is being measured BEFORE the new restriction.

The increased PSI is a measurement of friction. Increased friction means less PSI to injectors.

EGTs appear to be unchanged. They are already low, the WOT passes for data logging yielded 1150*egts.

What if the oil rail of a 7.3 was smaller without adding a dowl of aluminum. Say it was machined/rewelded smaller or recasted smaller. Does decreasing volume mean "increased friction"?

Only way to know is a dyno. Theory on the concept appears to be split 50/50, I bought it, data logged it, thats all I've got. Not taking sides. It raised ICP and lowered IPR.

Hard to say, has always had low EGTs and good power.
