Russ is using Raceware barrel studs and is very happy with them, it adds up what you are saying,about the cyl growing mure than the studs.And he is only using 4 per barrel now i.e no 5th or 6th studs required.

By choice i would always use FI unless my requirement was the sound of duals
BTW I am using my friends 2.4 with twin 40 IDF's and it sounds and goes just great runs late 14's but after my vanagon D it feels like a rocketship................
