Does the chip know if injectors are hi or low z injectors?

If I changed a unmodifided ECM and a chip for hi z 80s to a modified ECM with 83 low z injectors- would the chip have to be changed ir should it run alright?

I would assume that the chip would work fine as far as being able to run through the ECM since going to low-Z is a driver circuit change that has nothing to do with the chip. Though I would say you will probably be rich if you run 83s with a 80 chip.
 
The big issue with that is the injector offset (the ricers call it dead-time) is way different between the 2 technologies, especially at that size.

Yes, it will run, but its not the best way to go.
