You sound like my old electronics shop teacher, Ed... He used to tell us, "Everything electronic is made out of smoke... When you break something you'll let the smoke out..."

That seems more in line for your setup with the cam. Unless you are doing WOT runs every day, you should be ok for a while. I know some will disagree, but I think a few seconds of "static" injectors on an infrequent basis is not a huge problem - as long as you're not going lean and getting detonation problems.

Thats the problem.... The PCM just knows it needs X amount of fuel. That "X amount" happens to be 125% of the capacity of the injector. The PCM just has to open the injector 100% of the time.

I agree w/ deezel on your situation marc. More than likely that 96% is just that split second of peak rpms too.
