Put in the Patriot Gold dual's for my T-rex. Just finished the rod bolt install tonight, so everything is still torn apart.

I'm not SMOKIN, but, I run the SVO 30# inj (36# really) at 63 PSI with my Trex setup and it runs between 82-88% duty cycle at WOT. Thats on a 430 RWHP A4, I'm betting you are close to running 100% at WOT on the 28# inj. You have auto tap or EFI Live?
