Throttle body relocation

I am putting a D-1 on my car now. with a intercooler in a ice box on front pass side floor.
My question is has anyone thought about relocating the throttle body on a HSR to the side like a mustang? If I plate the front on the plenum i will have the room to run the piping by. I would have to fab up a spacer to clear the fuel rails. With the throttle body on the pass side I would only need 1 elbow to go thru the firewall.
I was also thinking it would help with the two rear cyl. that like to run a little leaner.

As long as you don't dump right at one of the runners you'l be fine. OTOH, I'd probaby seriously consider building a custom plenum for the application.

Why not use the Accel Pro-Ram, or just weld on some injector bungs to a Victor Junior? With a 4 barrel TB or an elbow, it can be pointed anywhere, and not have flow distribution issues.

Basicly I am building a new plenum. I was just wondering if anyone had tried or had any ideas on a side feed intake system.
My thoughts were that if the plenum size was big enough, which it will be when I am done, and it is pressureised i should not have any flow issues.

I do not want to do a single plane manifold at this time as i am still testing the other one I built. I made one for my turbocharged Typhoon and tried to get my plenum volume from using a large 4" ID 90. Everything that I have read tells me plenum volume on boosted applications must match or be bigger than the CID of the engine.
