I run just a little over 50psi, which is the most my regulator will allow.  The higher pressure will increase atomization.  It will increase fuel flow a bit, but that is easily handled with a bit of tuning, unless you've sized your injectors to large.  I have my MegaSquirt configured for staged injection, so that at low MP and RPM only one set is used.  That has been effective in delivering a smoother idle.

All of the fuel injector capacity figures that I have seen are at a pressure

There is a calculator on the lower part of this page that will tell you what
injector flow you will get with the fuel pressure changes.

While perusing an old document describing the then-new Renesis, I noticed that the fuel pressure was spec'd at 392kPa, which if Google is to be believed, amounts to 52psi. How many of you are running pressure that high? If you're not ( I seem to remember 30-35 for a lot of installations), how much does that affect injector capacity and fuel atomization (efficiency)?
