IDM 140 volt mod questions

Right now at 180 degree oil temp at idle I am seeing 1.250 ms injector pulse width.

Injector control pressure is 500 PSI.

And each injector is injecting 8 cc's of fuel.

Stock 97 engine with a 120 volt IDM.

If I do the 140 volt mod, does the injector pulse width get shorter?

I believe from a computer standpoint (PCM) the pw is the same.
From a mechanical standpoint the injectors fir a bit quicker.

Here is some reading on it ... 7.3 Power Stroke IDM

From my understanding its an efficiency thing on the 120 vs the 140 volt IDM.

I dont think the PCM knows, thats to high of voltage than you'd want to send to send to the PCM.

I have been reading everything I can find, just wondering what differences I am going to be seeing.

I plan on theis mod shortly, so I guess I will do a couple wide open test runs with the data logger both before and after the mod to see what shows up.

hey guys, I posted a question on socaps.com about this and never got an answer. Anybody who has done the IDM 140 mod on an OBS(IDM 100 or 110), what were the changes to fuel economy? Currently I am getting 16-18city and 19-21 hwy. I don't want to sacrifice fuel economy if at all possible, which is why I don't want to do injectors. Future mods include intake, 4" exhaust (I already have a 3"dp), and a switchable chip(I have a dyno sources inc. single stage now). With the economy mode on my future chip, and the intake, and exhaust upgrades, I want to see up in the 20's for fuel economy... So yeah, if anyone has done it and seen a drop or gain in fuel economy, I would appreciate the info. TIA guys!
