Fuel rail....shims and plugs

Ok short answer to this
fuel rail shim- benefits are it takes more pressure to make the fuel relief valve "pop off" or relieve pressure.
fuel rail plug- just as it sounds stops pop off from happening at all benefits- same as shim pretty much. Downfall- if for some reason your rail does need to relief it takes out the weakest link which can be expensive depending on what it takes out.
My recommendation shim it not much more trouble and its a lot safer

Im running the plug. Take thegood advice u dont want your weaklink to be your injectors or who knows what. I wouldn't recomend itjust like dodgeram said. i have not had no trouble (yet) i have talked to to many knowledgeable ppl such as dodgeram, lazer smith ,tc diesel and others. I will be pulling mine soon since I just got a good relief valve again. Just think like this you have 25k+ in yout rail if something went wrong and it spiked to 30k or what ever crazy number failure is likely to happen but where? It's up to u
