Default low vs high impedence injectors

Can MS run both without needing to wire in resistors? AKA what would i need to do to run low impedance injectors with MS

I'm hoping all that is needed is the additional ground wires that aren't pinned out on the board. I had my new PNP made like that from DIY and an MS parallel made by cjernigan. I will let you know in a week hopefully. Got low impedance 440's waiting to be installed.

v2.2 needs the Injector Flyback board installed if you're using Low-Z injectors, v3.x I believe has flyback built in..

If you have the PWM circuit built in, then yes.

be warned though, it may cause tach spikes. if that happens you'll have to figure out better grounds.
