And I own and modify that same Z car. And I can say with 100% certainty this very common fuel system maintains a constant fuel pressure across the injector. So a duty cycle of x% represents the same fuel flow at a particular rpm regardless of engine load.

Reference your fuel pressure gauge to the manifold and you will see what I mean.
