Paul, seeing Geir's beautiful injector holders got me to thinking
about the intake design once again.  For future intakes I have
completely given  up on the idea of keeping the fuel on the cool
side.  Instead,I am depending on enclosing the intake so that it
cannot leak on to the exhaust.  Put both  injectors in the
insert,Easy to do and it looks right!!   It will back up the throttle
plate a few inches  but  having seen the p port hot rods at
SevenStock with  butterflies about 10 inches away from the port,
idling o.k. leads me to believe that is not something to worry about
either.  Drawing attached.   Jerry

Well ten inches is one thing 20 inches is another.
See the previous scale 3D. You need to do all this including
the injectors holders in 3D scale.

Why do you want to go to all the trouble of butterflies?
The slide throttle is easier to fabricate and less drag.
Don't forget... the intake runner is a high speed
aerodynamic device. 300 MPH or more.

Would you stick a giant  butterfly shaft and plate up
above your wing?

To quote Aretha Franklin "You better THINK!!!!!!" :)
