the only way to figure out how to move forward is to see what went wrong in the past.
Well that's what they did. They looked at what was wrong with the wick-type evaporative carburetor and came up with the pitot tube and nozzle-type. Then they looked at what was wrong with that and came up with TBI, then thay looked at that and came up with PI, and after yet another round they went with DI.

Now you come here and you want to ignore all that looking at what was wrong and go back to the stone age? And you've already started to add a bunch of epicycles in the form of heating and cooling to make it work.

I say instead look ahead, and put the injectors right back there at the very end of the tail pipe! /jk

No, but maybe look at what you can do to make DI doable for the home tinkerer.
