As stated already the inlet manifold length is there for a reason. Take the 20V 7A, the inlet was 'tuned' to help midrange torque. Fitting bike carbs or TB's right next to the head might be great for top end power but on a road car thats not going to be as useful as a good spread of torque that can be achieved with tuned inlet and EFi. Unless it is going to be used as a track car don't bother, there are better tried and tested solutions . See July's Audi Driver on fitting a larger MAF to the 7A for instance. 190bhp and 180lb/ft torque from aspirated 2.3 engine.
