Without straying too far here, the injector is placed as close as it can be, but you still want that nicely-atomized spray from the injector to swirl and mix as evenly as possible, so that's why the injector isnt actually "on" the head/closer/etc. Anyway, the point is, it doesn't truely matter until you get waaaaaay closer to the "edge" of tuning (aka Superbikes).
The KA/truck motor thing isn't so much saying that the KA out of a car could have been in a truck in a past life, etc... it's more of a comment about how de-tuned it comes from the factory, compared to something that's tuned to the absolute legal limit, like a bike. Do with it what you will ~ this thread reminded me to re-download solidworks for my laptop btw
