Default Boost reference truck rail?

Quick question, can I boost reference my stock early truck style fuel rail?

I am running 78% duty cycle on deka 80's with no boost ref @650whp now 11.9A/F I may step it up this year and I dont want to buy new injectors.

Thank you
Vic

Yes you can. What fuel pump(s) do you have?

What is your base pressure now ? And presumably you have some sort of regulator already ?

Exactly what do you have ? a schematic always helps but there shouldnt be a problem

Its a factory early truck rail with the stock regulator with no line(ref) hooked up. It has worked great for the last 3 years but I was just asking if I can boost reference the stock regulator. We checked it and its running 50 Psi

exactly= Bosh 044 1/2 aluminum hard line feed and return. Massive Jegs fuel filter
No schematic needed

If there is a regulator with a reference port on it, then yes.
