Looking forward to hearing more about this.
The injectors are controlled by the ECU based on O2 so I'm guessing that
variations in flow rate -- within reasonable limits -- would be something
the ECU would be able to compensate for.
Full open throttle is a different story, I betcha.
My guesses only, I expect enlightenment from those who know these things.
