10K question?

I have a questions about the 10K mod. As described, it is suppose to "fool the computer into thinking the the injection pressure is low and makes it add a bit more fuel" (cookie88), wouldn't that be the same as stepping on the accelerator just to give it more fuel?? Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong?
Thanks.

It dose'nt exactly add more fuel. it ups the oil pressure in the high pressure system and basicaly fires the injector a bit harder. thus atomising the fuel better for better combustion. In fireing it harder it also causes the injector the eek out a bit more fuel.

Would it have any adverse effects on the injectors if you put a lot of miles (10,000+) on it that way? Or are the injectors capable of handling the increased pressure and similar to the whole engine, they are just detuned from their maximum performance?

I'm no expert but I've never heard of any trouble with injectors due to this mod.
