I had heard a similar story some time back ... but does anyone out there
have direct experience with these injectors?  It sounds like it makes sense
in those cases where one has modified the induction/exhaust to provide
better flow than stock.  My only concern is that the cone in the airbox is
calibrated based on the expected flow rates of the injectors.  The ECU can
adapt the system somewhat based on the feedback from the OXS, but it seems
possible to me that you can get a situation where you are able to get more
fuel at WOT, but also have the engine run too rich everywhere else ...
