Not sure if any would be gained by a 36 lbs/hr etc.

One crank rotation @ 7000 RPM is ► 1 / (7000 / 60) = 0.008571 of a second

My understanding of Duty Cycle is it is the percent of open time against 2 crank rotations (720 degrees).

1) @ 7000 RPM @ 7.7 Mill seconds pulse width I get 44.9% Duty Cycle

2) @ 7000 RPM @ 88% Duty Cycle I get 15.0857 Mill seconds pulse width

I don't know what your engine BSFC or HP is. But a 24lb injector running at its rated PSI, if I guess .45 BSFC and 375 HP, that would 2# above.
