Will modified banjos increase fuel pressure?

[DEZLPWR]

Just curious, when my 5 modified banjos from Geno's go in, will I see my fuel pressure go up a little @ idle and WOT?

better flow but not neccesarily higher pressure

that depends where you take the pressure reading. The pressure at the lift pump discharge may be lower, but the pressure at the VP44 may be higher..... this is compared to the stock fittings

When i put mine in i did not see any higher readings but at WOT I did not see as big of a drop in pressure.

I don't have great info, but you are welcome to it.

I didn't have a FP gauge set up when totally stock, I used one of Ray's (Geno's) banjos with the FP tap in it. I then drove the truck for a few months untill I got around to installing the rest of the banjos, when I did, I saw a gain of about 1. 5 to 2 psi FP. I also noticed that the fp readings steaded down at idle, no more jumpy-jerkyness. I did not change the Fuel Filter at the same time, so it was all banjo bolts. I use a Autometer Z-series electric FP gauge mounted at the injection pump.

Good luck, Josiah
