Shortened and cleaned up the intake manifold and throttle bodies today, so that the throttles are as close to the intake valves as possible for fast throttle reaction, but still enough room for the injector rail.
Total length is still 290mm though, and according to various sources on the internet the minimum length should be 300mm.
I ordered 4 velocity stacks though, so those will add to the length and therefore add some some low end torque for drivability.

Not yet in the picture, but fortunately bending the tabs on the throttles was enough to account for the wider offset
