Default Weird idle?

Its weird after i drive my truck for a while at an idle it sounds like it misses what would it be? For some reason it only sounds like its missing is whenever my fuel pressure is at 20 psi at idle that is the only time it does it but like at 18 psi it goes away?

if they are jammers they might not have been pop tested, this will cause idle problems. what kind of lift pump are you running?

As long as it dosent go over 20psi you will be fine. And on the injector issue, It wouldn't make a difference what brand the injectors would be that effects the idle, also Edge Jammers don't make a 65hp injector so I wouldn't think that there jammers. The only reason that the injector would effect the idle is that if your spray was off and streaming or if one injector was 20bar or so off. I recommend getting your injectors pop-tested if they have more than 100k miles on them. That way you can tell if they are junk or not...
