2 Ohm injectors with a 10 Ohm resister...okay?
If I could pick up a new set of 2 ohm injectors on the real cheap, how would tieing in a 10 ohm resistor on the neg side work, or would it?

Nope. The low impedance injectors need more current than the PCM can supply without damage. Limiting the current with an external resistor could protect the PCM but then the injectors won't work properly. Low impedance injectors need an external (to the PCM) current amplifier.
