be any
        problems there.

        On the 5.9's (OBD-II) vehicles, factory injectors reach almost 80%
duty cycle. On my truck this occurs at 4,900 RPM and remains flat above
this. Given the fact that you don't want to take anything but a plate
injector above 80%, the only way that I can see to provide the additional
fuel is through larger injectors or increasing fuel pressure. At WOT it
would be nice to tailor the computer to the flow characteristics of the
manifold. My thoughts.......
