Any ideas on numbers appreciated....

Actually, I believe that the SEFI was chosen so that a backfire wouldn't
blow the entire intake manifold off the car!

Having the injectors close to the cylinder and handling 1/6th the fuel
reduced the fuel/air in the intake.  Also, later it allowed an intercooler
to be added gracefully.  Imagine a backfire in a wet intercooler!
