only thing: i know this is nitpicking, but i just don't want a new guy to tuning reading this and getting confused. but duty cycle is actually the percentage of the time the injector is open in relation to the amount of time it can be open, correct? ie: at 100% duty cycle, the injector is open all the time. at 5% duty cycle, it is open 5% of the time. the rest it is closed. what you defined is actually the pulse width, correct? please correct me if i'm wrong.

but yeah,
I simplified it overly, thanks for the catch (I am still proofreading it).

Duty cycle= (pulsewidth)/ (total time between ignition events)
