yes, and pulse width, ummm. thats how long they are on for, which is programed into the ecu, by the manufacture.

Also, Duty Cycle isn't controlled by anything, it's just a percentage figured out by Pulse Width...
 
Why is it that my 550cc injectors were at 100% duty cycle and when I switched to 720's the DC dropped dramatically? i can understand that the ECU controls DC but wouldn't the ECU do that by info it was receiving?

As I stated above, duty cycle is % on time for the injector.

Duty cycle is not directly controlled, but rather a result of injector pulse width which is controlled by a preprogrammed map based upon several inputs. Obviously using larger injectors means you will have to lower the pulse width(therefore duty cycle) to inject the same volume of fuel.
