Fuel injector optimum location

[ROCQUE Mike (MSMail)]

Hi, DIY'ers

I'm looking for some feedback on the optimal location of the injector on the 
intake system. It's a high pressure (55PSI) system on a Honda VTEC 1.8 L 
engine. It is used strictly for road racing. I'm also in the final stages of 
building a mold for a carbon fibre intake and need to know where to put the 
injector boss.

I have read contradicting reports on the location of the injectors. Is it 
true that an injector mounted above the velocity stack ie outside the intake 
system at the mouth of throttle body...also assuming it is mouted far away 
to not reduce flow...that this will produce maximum power.

I'm not concerned with emissions or mileage......however I'm concerned about 
hi pressure fuel on the atmosphere side of the system. What happens when I 
shut the throttle quickly..and get some fuel run-on. etc..?
