The Harrop is about as good as you're going to get.

Be warned, tuning them isn't easy.

No idea on the stack ITB's.

I mean actually tuning them is tricky. A bloke on here had them on his 409 Clubsport and always had trouble with take off apparently. He ended up going back to a FAST 102mm manifold IIRC.

Yeah well thats it, if you're tuning it yourself, then you've unlimited time to get it right. Gets expensive when you're paying someone.

efi is great for tuning, but u cant computer tune the itb, if they're not all sync'd and sucking the exact amout of air, and all opening equally. these have to be mechanically tuned not computerised first, before you can adjust the computer side of things...

u'll need to make sure they are flowing the same amout of air throughout the throttle position.
