Ya know, I've been tinkering with these beasties for over twenty years, and this is the first I've heard of L-Jet and Digifant being "batch-fire" injected...so, does that mean that you could swap the injection plugs between cylinders and there'd be no difference? Wow, that's mind-boggling. It's like you've exposed Santa, the easter bunny and Area 51 all at once...I'm deflated. I need a drink...or a toke...damn
