Also depends on the injectors being used. They are designed to work on a specific pressure, don't exceed this.
What kind of fuel pump are you using? What kind of pressure can this pump deliver? Don't exceed the maximum pressure for the fuel pump.

As jon@work says all controlled by chip so has to suit chip used.
The injector will handle any pressure the pump can deliver, and is NOT the determining factor, pressure does NOT equate to bhp, injector duration controlled by the chip does though.
Even a std pump can deliver 10BAR.

It still amazes me that people spend thousands of pounds bying a car, then spend several thousands of pounds to build a really good engine and then try to save some pennies in tuning that engine.
A standard pump running at 10 bar pressure - if this is not El Cheepo Tuning I don't know what it.
