Really, I thought the best place to have the injector was right behind the
intake valve....

Individual throttle bodies are always an advantage because they insure
equal distribution of fuel to each cylinder.  There is always some
inequality of distribution in a plenum.

Theoretically having the injector nozzle further away from the valve is
an advantage because it gives more "time" for the liquid fuel to
vaporize into a burnable gas rather than go through the chamber and out
the exhaust unburned.  In practice it probably doesn't make much
difference, especially with mechanical fuel injection.  Bill H.
