I haven't seen everything, but I have yet to see an adaptive fueling routine that couldn't compensate the pulse-widths by at least 25%.
That is during closed-loop though.
The problem is I have never seen a system that applied fuel trims to the cranking fuel, so you could run into problems there.

The new design injectors are supposed to be more efficient, and I'd like to see some really well done tests to show this.
Generally for efficiency (as in ecomodding/hypermiling) you want to size the injector on the small side and run higher pressure.
You want to increase your fuel pressure until you see negative fuel trims in most of your load cells.
The reason you want negative trims is because positive fuel trims, while they have to ADD fuel to bring you back UP to stoich in closed-loop, will often be applied to the fueling values as calculated in other modes of operation like PE Power-Enrichment and AE Acceleration-Enrichment. The other modes of operation are almost always too rich already, on the order of 10 to 15% more fuel than needed. If whatever load cell you are in when you invoke one of these modes has a positive fuel trim, then it gets this extra fuel applied. Negative fuel trims do not normally get applied to anything but normal closed-loop operation.
