Individual throttle bodies allow for better air/fuel flow as they remove curves and dead areas from inlets.
With a decent ECU and fuel injection metering then you can get smoother running and more power.

disadvantages ??
i heard they're not streetable cuz they give really bad emissions at the low end

ah right not thinkign emissionsOriginally Posted by KnifeEdge_2K1
Yeah some cars use exhaist gas recirculation to get within emissions limits.
WIth ITBs then you can't do that ( well not without a LOT of crazy plumbing that would negate all the advantages)
BUT, it is not a guaranteed failure ie bikes have and continue to do it this way for decades

They also help throttle response. If you're worried about emissions, they are also louder than normal.
