Duty cycle, comparison of On to Total event time,  On/Total.   Can't be over
100%.

So if the injectors fire once per revolution, at 3.450, with an on injector
time of 11.6  would be 11.6/17.2   (About 68%).

Bob has a slight error as I see it of adding the two injector times, ie must
have been thinking dual throttle body with 2 injectors, in which case the
total time that both injectors could be on would be 2x as long as compared
to a single injector (or batch strategy),
Grumpy
