Pulse width is how long the injectors are open in miliseconds. Duty cycle is the percentage of time they are open, anything above 85 and you are nearing the limit of your injector size.

Thank for that...so I should be focusing on the duty cycle sounds like. Im at or near 100 % most of the time at WOT. I had no clue that I was maxing out the injectors. Is there anything else that would be causing it be maxing out asides from too small of a injectors?
