series/parallel injector wiring

has anyone ever tried to wire injectors in series/parallel and see if they still open?
I know the consensus is that it wouldn't, but has anyone tried it?
After looking at this:
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...injector+drive
It occurs to me that it might not be impossible

(edit) going from 4ohms (stock) up to 12 ohms (hi flow saturated wired in series/parallel) might be a little silly....1/3 the power available to open the injectors.
Probably still open fine, but slow to respond.
Don't mind me, just thinking out loud (end edit)

I've run TBI injectors in series/parallel, and at about 3K TPM, they started chattering in a erratic counding manner. Below that and above it they seemed to be firing OK. Some have run them that way, and are happy with them, but no one that I know of was really pushing them.

Just from the sounds of them, I wouldn't. It's the same sort of noise you get when your approaching static with a normal set up.
