Kelly, without a doubt, carbureted IR systems are far superior to common plenum carbureted systems in terms of powerband width and throttle response, just the sort of thing a road course race car, or a sports car, can take advantage of.
My personal question, is a fuel injected IR system an advantage compared to a fuel injected long runner "factory" system that employs a single throttle body, at what we would call streetable rpm levels. Is the powerband achievable measurably wider, or the throttle response measurably crisper? Do the complexity & expense involved in the IR system provide a worthwhile return with fuel injection, like it did with carburetion?
I don't have the personal experience to answer that question, but apparently the prancing donkey engineers & the engineers full of bull don't think there's any advantage, or they'd be doing it, wouldn't they?
I agree with your sentiment, always a healthy a discussion. My heartfelt wishes for a healthy and prosperous new year for you and your family as well, my friend.
