Default 7th injector or larger injectors???

I have been thinking about a 7th fuel injector on 6cyl or a 5th on a 4 cyl..
First of all I want to say if you mod your engine, any engine, at one point you are going to be told or you know when you run lean you need bigger injectors, they do cost a lot of money,,, and the only time you really need the larger injectors is at W.O.T. well this is a idea I have been kicking around in my head for a few days now,
Think nitrous,, now think empty bottle, you have the fuel side still in operation, and when you hit w.o.t. your engine bogs, runs rich, ..
For less than $100.00 you can buy a, fuel solenoid, throttle switch , a activation switch fuel line (1 to 2 feet long) and an assortment of jets….( fuel line to schrader valve on fuel rail)
When your car runs lean say afr of 17.4 at wot you know you are lean, so you put in a small jet try again, if you have a afr of say 14.7 go with a larger jet and do it again,,, until you get the 11.6 to 12.3 afr.
Remember this system has two switches one to turn every thing on and the other to activate it at wide open throttle W O T only ,,,so as long as the main switch is off nothing will happen you drive around with the same mpg as now. Flip the switch floor it and you have the same as larger injectors. On the crossfire the nozzle would be installed in the Y going to the intake manifold, I will try this soon just to say yes or no it about it working, jim
