Ed,
I was wondering about all that and hope any gains aren't negated by the 
removal of some highly tuned and complicated intake manifold, that won't fit 
into a cowl- like the Renesis manifold.

There is also the concern of how good the surface treatment of the aluminium 
side housing are going to be. I guess only time will tell. I hate the first 
release of anything like this, it invariably has problems.

Then there's the complexity of injection and the very high pressure of 
direct injection, as well as the associated hardware and much needed 
software to make it all work.

Those sorts of things tend to temper my enthusiasm or am I just jaded 
through old age.
