That sounds fine and dandy, but the problem is that in sync mode the 7747
uses ignition events to fire the injectors. The 4 cylinder would have half
enough ignition events to get the injectors to fire properly. 2 ignition
events per rev as compared to 4 for the 8, so a single injector would only
fire once per rev.
