EDIT: And I need to do this some more as well -- I know I'm holding at least 1000psi more than I was before the hybrids. I need to look at some of the other tunes. I think Tony is calling for 2800 in one tune, and 3000 in the other. I'm seeing about that, but I have been a bit gun shy to go through these and verify.
Exactly Joe. Air in the system was the reason I didn't get a steady reading. Peaks and valleys in the graph at WOT.

I felt that getting the Adrenaline was going to be a win-win for me. I would be upgrading from a very weak 15° pump and pay less then a new 17° pump. And it did prove to be a win-win for me. The truck used to start running out of power at the high end but now it just pulls right up to 100 MPH without starving for fuel. Still not very fast because of the stock AB codes, but strong.

Hybrids use the least oil out of all of all of them, so I don't think you need big oil with them. Sure there is a slight increase even with hybrids, but I don't think the investment is really worth the high price tag. My $0.02....

How do you like those injectors ? and if don't mind how much $ ?
