The injector pulse width is the duration of how long the fuel injector is provided with power, aka "on" time. It is measured in milliseconds (ms)

Pulse width is the % of "on" time to total time. Total time is determined by engine RPM, the faster the engine speed, the less time between injector "on" pulses.

So...
Duty Cycle = fuel injector pulse width (ms) / Time between ignition events

Time between ignition events = 120 / Engine RPM

At 7,500 RPM there is 0.016 seconds or 16ms between ignition cycles.
If the calculated fuel injector pulse width is 15ms, then the pulse width is:
15/16 x 100 = 93.75%

If a small injector value was entered into EcuTEK (with a larger injector installed in the engine), it would increase the pulse width and the duty cycle.

This would increase fueling, but only up to 100% duty cycle, since the injector is open 100% of the time.

Generally, you don't want to "trick" the fueling calculations. The goal is to work with the system not against it.

I will reply to your PM later this afternoon.
