Re: injectors?
Doubt anyone has. They aren't the same as the Bosch ones, and therefore a chip for the Bosch ones will not necessarily work correctly.
Don't just assume 36=36. Bosch 42.5 from a Ford Lightning truck don't have the same curve as the Lucas 009 42.5 injectors. Using one's chip with the other will cause fueling problems.

Re: injectors?
The only injectors that you can use with a stock chip are:
- Stock Bosch injectors - Lucas "green stripe" 30 Lb/hr injectors (D1720xx (Lucas old 5207009, Delphi / Lucas new number 621020)) If what you have really are Super Coupe injectors, they are red on the top and NOT Accel. While they may flow 32 Lb/hr, they are not matched to the stock chip. See http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/fuelsystem/injflow.html If you are dialing 17 PSI already, you should be using a different chip than stock. The stock chips have timing set for the gas of a different era. You've told us little about the combination in your car. I would recommend against using these injectors. Its well worth getting pieces that really suit the combination and work with available calibrations.
