Twin injector system?

Low RPM/daily driving tends to be a bit rough with large injectors in a
hi-hp engine, and then upper RPM lean out-out performance driving gets
to be a problem. My idea was to try and get the injectors to take up
some of the slack of a radical cam on a daily driven street engine, such
as I use mine, and then have everything you need when it's time to mash
it. My engine is supercharged (via Carroll Supercharging/Paxton SN-89
blower). Just searching for the best of both worlds, and electronics is
the only way to get there from here. Problem is, I am a mechanic not an
EE... :) or should that be an :(
I've got lots of feasable ideas, just no way to impliment them on my
own.
Other places such as Mallet, AMG, Lingenfelter ect. all use pretty much
standard mechanics to try to acheive the best of both worlds, but with
the polution laws they are tied down. With my way, the
pollution/performance problem is nill, and performance is greatly
enhanced. Also, gas mileage would be maximized for both types of driving
and not reduced to the normal gas-hog status.  It it were not for trying
to find a way to do something better, this list would not exist, and we
would still be driving Model T's....<smiles>
Also on my wish list is a variable length plenum/runner design,
electronically controlled of course. maybe I should go back to school
for my EE degree? <smiles>
Critique, ideas and suggestions are always cheerfully accepted! Thanks.
