You can run an injector at 85% all day every day.  Good injectors will never
wear out, they might clog or get gummed up but thats it.  Some style
injectors are not made well (like original 90's cadillac injectors) their
coils are wound with a crappily coated coil wire.  Over lots of time the
coating wears thin and shorts the injector out.
    They recomend only running at 85% to give you some backup fuel.  You
don't want to tune for 100% duty cycle at a warm temp, then it gets cold out
and you don't have the fuel for the more dense/cold air.  You should have no
problem tuning an injector under 30lbs/hr to idle smooth and pass emissions
if necessary.
