That's the only experience I have to go on. From what I've been around,
almost every high performance carb I've seen (for eg; Weber) have used mini
stacks to prevent turbulence at the air inlet, which on a carb'd application
can prevent an uneven charging of the combustion chambers. While it may not
be as important on a FI engine with an injector aiming at the port, I still
think it's an advantage (more air flow) to have them in place.
