I would never use the Hilborn unit -- that was just Steve's description when I said "I'll run an 8 stack injection unit".
I am a bit confused on this. Why would the plenum be necessary? Wouldn't 8 individual throttles provide better throttle response? I ask because all of the factory cars I know of, Ferrari, my M5, etc that use individual throttles do not use a common plenum.

Thanks!
