Default Fuel system

Alright gentleman, 65mm holset, 100lb injectors on a stock 4.8. Running 8-10 lbs of boost. My question for you guys is at what point do I need to upgrade my fuel pump? It's a 2011 Sierra. I have a bosch 044 but have yet to use it. Just curious

Is your truck tuned and running with boost?

That's what made me ask. Feels like it falls off a little when my boost gets up to 10lbs

A gauge to verify works better than guessing

I would upgrade pump with boost its not real expensive and not that hard to do... I have a walbro 255 lph in mine at 9 psi boost with 60lb injectors with no hiccups or problems what so ever

Why 100 lb injectors for only 10 psi on a 4.8L?
