Geoff, when you are WOT, the DI system operates like a PFI system.
IT injects fuel during the intake stroke to create a homogenous charge.
The benefit of DI when in this mode is the reduced droplet size from 2200psi, and the latent heat of vaporization occuring within the chamber.
Adding up to 30% fuel upstream will change nothing while in this mode of operation. Nor would 30% of proper AFR be ignitable.

Only in a few light light loading situations(and low rpm too) does the system actually wait until the comrpession stroke to inject fuel.
