does the chip being used have to be setup to take advantage of the larger injectors?

Default You could be right, but my understanding is that...

lean/rich distinction is based on fuel being too much or too little for the incoming air. In that case with larger injectors, the ECU would assume normal duty cycle for the injectors, thus dumping in too much fuel for incoming air, therefore running rich.
Which is it? I've always heard it's based on fuel.

Default Nice! thank you, very informative...but I'm right:

"If Lambda is greater than 1.0, then there is a <b>surplus of air and the engine is running lean</b>. If Lambda is less than 1.0, then there is a <b>surplus of fuel and the engine is running rich</b>. It should be noted that the ratios are mass-based, not volume-based"
