Thumbs up

So you guys set your breaking pressure at 2400 psi (~163 bar)? I've read - somewhere - that the greater you set this value the longer it takes the injectors to inject, thus retarding the injection timing. Is the idea here that if you advance the pump timing you retard the injectors to "even out" the fuel delivery timing?

Or is setting a higher breaking done to achieve a better fuel atomization?
