Using the well established technique of hand-waving, it's possible to argue that changing the location of gasoline fuel injectors can have tangible effects on steady-state torque. (Injection location affects local speeds of sound and therefore tuning lengths, etc, etc.)

Anyone got anything concrete to share?
 
You mean assuming that the intake geometry is not changed, etc.?

 
Yeah. In terms of basic lengths, volumes and packaging.
 

Yes, it could certainly mess it up :-)
You would have to maintain or improve other things like atomization and keeping the fuel suspended.
