A BIG advantage to direct injection as well as multi-port injection,
is the dry manifold, without the usual fuel distribution problems.

The daunting task would be to figure out how to substitute for either an
engine dyno, or a "rolling road" (chassis) dyno, to enable you to set
the system up.  When you get to this level, guesswork, and "it looks
good" just doesn't cut it.  The smallest thing could mean the difference
between success and failure.  Tunnel vision would be fatal.
