high Z vs low Z: how important is the resistance of the injectors?
I need high impedance injectors for my car. Unfortunately, the set I just bought are low impedance. I'm going to put in resistors into the legs of the injector plugs.
Now, the stockers are 13.6 ohms, the ones I have now are 1.9 ohms. The easiest way to do this would be to do a 10 ohm and a 1 ohm resistor in there and call it a day ... hoping that 12.9 ohms would be good enough On the other hand, if I do a combination of 10's, 5's, and 1's, I can get it to just under 13.7 ohms.
Should I even sweat getting it to 13.6ish or would 12.9 be alright?
Thanks for the help

You may know this, but if you are going to use single resistors instead of a factory resistor box from a different car, you probably want to go with the 10watt ones, rather than 1/4 watt ones for ex.
As in more like these:

They have them (the first ones) at radio shack. $1 a piece come in packs of 2.
