  Another option may be to get a set of throttle bodies from a wrecked FI
  motorcycle.  A few of examples spring to mind - early 80's GPZ1100, Z1300
  or Z750 Turbo.  Probably not as cheap as the carby idea tho'.  Should be
  able to get a suitable fuel pump, etc. from same.

  Another neat (I think) option is to weld up a tubular tunnel ram style intake 
  manifold and use a single larger throttle body from a small car; maybe you 
  could sleeve the inside diameter down if necessary... You mention the GPz 750 
  turbo- now there's a man's machine if I ever saw one :-) I bet you could get 
  some really scary results by tweaking this beast a bit!
        As for injector flow reqirements, probably the easiest rule of thumb is 
  to take your max hp and divide by two; result is flow required in pounds per 
  hour. A quick check using a PC dyno program showed 300 lb/hr fuel flow at 600 
  hp for a turbo V6. It is a pretty accurate estimate.
