Look at the dampners at this sight, and the explination of hammering.

Yes, it is much easier to package dead-head systems, and with smaller injectors and demand, it's usually not a problem.

never had that issue, and I've always used it (dead head) with 75 or 95# injectors. The fuel pressure never wiggles at all, sender is in the rail. If I have an issue that's a cool thing to try, but no reason for it as far as I've experienced.
