It appears to me that mounting the injectors on long runs before the intake port would cause the oil (presuming mixing oil in the gas, not using oil injection) to collect on the walls of the tube and interfere with proper lubrication.  Whereas an injector located close to the intake port and aimed at it would disperse the oil more evenly.  Am I way out in left field on this?

Jim Mederer at Racing Beat  reported no problems along those lines.
He is using four ounces per gallon in this engine.
I suspect it eventually gets pushed along by the high airflow and 
ingested just like raw fuel would. It must go someplace.
