    Desired and rail fuel pressure

    2014 Stingray LT1 fitted with a supercharger, intake, headers and full exhaust without cats. Is this what I should expect from Desired Fuel Pressure and Fuel Rail Pressure on this application? The GM direct injection is very new to me. Thanks for any and all input

    Nope post up your tune and a good log maybe one of the experienced boosted ones will help out.

    measure it against RPM

    you can boost commanded rail pressure

    you can adjust your Start of Injection Timing to give it more time to get the fuel in

    I can e-mail the log.

    Is boosting commanded rail pressure a band-aid to an issue here?

    first thing to adjust is SOI.

    your Duty cycle is maxed around 35% on these cars, your second shot shows 27% at 4800 RPM

    35% is not maxed out. The ECM will clip you to 350° which is 48.6%. You can safely get into the low 40s and not have it run like crap.

    Good to know, thanks Steck. Is low 40s like the old 100% and 35% like the old 85%? I haven't maxed one out yet but it seems like many are seeing 35% as a max, but possibly with stock SOI values....your thoughts...?

    There's no set rule. DI is totally different.

    Any elaboration?

    Where are you seeing injectors maxed vs HPFP or in tank?

    I've heard in tank is good to around 800-815 rwhp
