I'm not sure I understand you here?
4 bar most certainly does stress anything more than a 3 bar fuel setup.
- Injectors rated at 3 bar FPR will run hotter/harder at 4 bar
- Fuel pumps will need to pump much more fuel, causing stress on stock stuff and or requiring an aftermarket pump that can support higher pressure fuel (remember, 15 lbs on a 3 bar setup require a pump that can support 58.5 psi of fuel...if it's 15 lbs on a 4 bar setup, it needs to support 73 psi etc etc
This applies across the board.

While increasing pressure does increase flow you need to remember what the setup is tuned on/for. Regardless of a setup, when it's tuned on XX psi, it needs to stay there. 3 or 4 bar psi base makes no difference in that regard, as if you want to tune your car lets say on 50psi, that is where it's going to be set at, but you need to remember that the 72lb injector is now really 'larger' in base size (generic terms to make it easy for the O/P). As before, if the car is tuned at a specific fuel pressure, that is where it needs to be forever, as changing the fuel pressure base will change the tune.
