Fun facts: I used to race motorcyles and once, 20+ years ago, raced a 200+ HP superbike that destroyed the most advanced Ducatis (available to the general public) of the day. That bike tried to buck me multiple times as it was a beast and rear traction was severely tested....

More fun facts: Regardless of how the fuel gets into the combustion chamber, MFI and EFI with ITBs both have air getting into the engine via butterflies. That is the gating factor and ITBs and MFI are the same there. The idea that EFI is somehow slower reacting than MFI is ludicrous. Both have to fire the spark plugs based on the location of the crank and the ignition timing. Just because EFI is "smarter" does not mean it has to be slower.

In fact, you could argue that an EFI/ITB system with 996.2 GT3 intakes would have better throttle response than MFI as the GT3 intake takes advantage of pressure waves to force the air into the ITBs which would improve throttle response.
