[urq] EFI + MAC-14 maxing ataround 5k RPM

[Ben Swann]

Cody, all, I have taken it to the next level and have put the problem out on MSExtra
forum - I'm sure someone has seen this before:

http://www.msextra.com/viewtopic.php?p=172326#172326

If anyone has any idea if some ignition fubar with MAC-14  - like an automatic
transmission overrev softcut that I may not have wired properly, or something else like
that, please let me know.

I'll be putting more info. out on my website soon - wiring, etc. and of course PICTURES.

Ben

There is no percentage for pulse width, thats measured in time only. Duty 
cycle is the percentage of time the injector is open vs. closed, 100% means 
it's solid open, 50% meaning it's closed for an equal ammount of time that 
it's open.

I'll take a look at the files and get back to you this evening.
