As far as the add on modules that you get tend to increase fuel pressure and also some units tend to increase the injection pulse duration to increase the power output of the engine.
If we increase the size of the fuel injectors, then the pressure with which they inject the fuel will decrease, because of the increased area, right? So even the fuel pump needs to be tweaked I guess.
