You will lose velocity but gain high sustained RPM fuel recovery.
That's almost poetry right there.$.02

We have been coverting VP injectors since the early days. Not just resetting opening pressures. Thats a novice's game.
A VP injector that has not been converted will only run worse behind a P pump with large lines. It is not just resetting pop pressure. For the best results on an unconverted VP injector you need to run a small ID line. .082-.084 MAX. And it will still run with less than optimum results.
The pulse from the pump travels at roughly the speed of sound through the line when the system is properly matched. The length of that pulse is what changes with diameter. No matter what you do, the pulse will get shorter AND the pressure curve of that pulse will shorten with increasing the diameter of the "road" or "tunnel" that pulse travels down. Pretty simple to understand why the line diameter is sized in accordance with of the fuel slug being pumped and the pressure curve needed.
Think of it like this: Imagine a line diameter with an ID of 1/2 inch between the pump and injector. How much pressure could that pump really build up with a diameter that large? It would not even be enough to open the injector, much less inject ANY fuel. The same thing applies in any line diameter change. Increasing diameter lowers the overall pressure, speed and time the fuel has to overcome the injectors spring.
A VP injector is designed with delivery curve much lower and a spring pressure much higher. Forget the fk'n opening pressure. Thats a trojan horse that 99% of vendors and purchases get hung up on. The pressure curve the VP injector spring operates at is mucho higher than a P pump injector spring. It requires a higher pressure to keep it open throughout the delivery pulse of fuel coming from the pump. Resetting the pressure to a lower point only lowers the pressure required to initially open the stupid thing, not the force/pressure required to KEEP it open. The P pump has a crap/low pressure curve compared to a VP and of course A CR. It needs a spring with a low pressure curve required to open it and a pressure from the line feeding it.

I run .120 holders, lines and delivery tubes to honed bodies with 6x18 nozzles. This should allow for max fuel at safe pressures with as minimal wear as can be had. plus i was wrong on my pop pressures, they are 3900 not 4400.
Send em! We dont and never have charged for cleaning and resetting opening pressures.
If the line is not empty, diesel is considered a non compressible. So if the line is full of fuel, your not having an increased volume to fill, your injector is still taking the same CC, so your still pumping the same CC into the line/injector. Am I looking at this all wrong?
Does this stand true if one has a set of your injectors they bought used??
What is involved and what does it cost have them converted??
No and $750 respectively...
Therefore my injectors have not been reset.
Why the fuss over DV holders? I see people buying modded DV holders from vendors who open the holes up. Why? Do they think the orifice in the holder is too small?
For the record we opened up some holders 7-8 years ago. What happened? About nothing. Anyone know why?
Buying modded DV holders is a waste of money. Well, maybe 20 HP if you get the sizing right and flow equal, but one cant get the flow equal between the holders without reverse Extrude Honing and balancing of the holder. I have a sinking feeling the sellers of this stuff dont even know how they work. We figured it out after pushing about 5 cubic tons LOL of EH media through them. I nearly passed out from shock.
