Whose running this thumper hpop and what injectors are they running with it. I just recently purchased one and installing it soon.
is conventials like hybrids? or the opposite?
Would the stage one keep up with 230's?
Hybrids use a larger diameter plunger, which means the injector body needs to be expanded via machine work, but this is precision machining and uses very tight tolerances. By doing this, it changes the injection pressure ratio of the fuel atomizing. You lose efficiency by gaining volume this way. However they use far less oil pressure because you technically aren't changing the stroke any, youre just displacing more within the same event.
Conventional's will make more power due to the higher tip pressure, which means better atomization. You do need to stroke the piston and plunger to achieve this as you are not changing the diameter of the plunger. The more travel you have the more oil you use, which means the stock pump is maxed out with volume at 4,000 psi at a certain point.

It definalty makes sense that hybrids are not atomized right . Basically more fuel pressure, you need more oil pressure if your using conventional hueis.
Sort of... Let's call it injection pressure though, not to be confused with fuel pressure (your low pressure fuel system feeding the injectors). It's not that more pressure is needed, we need to maintain the pressure we want, so more volume is needed. The stock pump can't supply the volume of oil needed on those larger conventionals. Hybrids are just an easy way to keep oil pressure up, but you lose injection pressure because of the lower ratio. You're just making it easier to push the fuel out (and thus, less injection pressure).
