I've designed in quite a bit of electrical dependancy, so the alternator-out running time has me concerned. With all injectors and coils on seperate switches, it should be possible to extend the range by switching off a set of injectors and the trailing coils, and accepting reduced power. Does that sound viable?

I guess you meant "electrical redundancy".
No, unfortunately, I meant dependancy. Electric fuel pumps. Electric water pumps. Injectors. Coils. Computer. This engine likes its electrons.
On my 20B install, a 15A fuse blew running 3 LS1 coils. 20A seems to be OK.
7A surge for the coils then?
Does pulsing two injectors take more current than pulsing one injector twice
as long?
Holding current would be less than pulsing current, right? Not that the electronics are necessarily designed to save electrons in that manner, but I think it would save a small amount just considering the inrush currents. I doubt it could be determined short of measuring.
