I had that chip in my car with stock injectors for about 10 years.
Nowhere near as good as a TT chip, okay for drivability in most cases compared to the stock chip with good old Sunoco 94 in it, but that's gone now, so it has too much timing to be a good street chip.
Winter warmup sucked with that chip and it loaded up the plugs on occasion but not that bad, I cleaned them once a year and changed them once a year.
Sounds like it was made for the 40lb. red stripe injectors and he probably DOESN'T have those. So it's a BAD choice.
Get the numbers off the injectors, get the RIGHT TT street or alky. or race CHIP and drive happy.
Really!

Just remember there's more than one type of 42's.
I have a TT chip for the Bosch 42 lb. greentops and the calibration is not very close to the usual green stripe 42lb. typical 009 injectors.
Double check the injector part numbers for sure, easy to see with some magnification and light when in the car.
And double check that they are the same calibration as yours or same part number.
Eric at TT should be able to help you by email too.

I hope your friend got the Bosch Limetops 42s#. They have 4 small holes that have a nice spray pattern unlike the 009s Lucas that have a rich three prong spray. Not much atomization there but raw fuel spray doesn't do much for your rings and cylinders

I wasn't too happy with the 009's. Had a tip in stumble off idle. I played with the chip program and did manage to get them to work ok. Went to the Ford lime green 42.5# injectors and they worked great. Very good street manners.
