I don't think its gonnna starve for fuel . I think a GEMS engine management system fires the injectors twice per engine revolution . I think they run way to rich.

it won't starve, if the engine draws in more air the MAF reports more air. Its not a MAP/speed density system like he's been describing.
it could use some tuning in the transients/accel enrich, but the real reason to bother with tuning it would be to optimize the ignition map. Since you are effectively increasing cylinder with the 229 compared to a stock cam its already an aggressive ignition map for that setup. I'm sure NOx would increase if anyone bothered to measure.
GEMS is sequential, if it wasn't it wouldn't need that cam gear that is getting everyone worked up.
I think our newbie talks like he knows more than he really does.
Engine block, front cover, oil pan, crank and pistons were dropped off at machine shop yesterday.
They are going to remove oil plugs, clean, replace oil plugs with thread plugs, pin the liners and measure. He gave me an estimate of 2 to 3 weeks and a price of $275 for all this work. When I get the block back I'll place an order with D&D and Will.
I also plan on adding the oil cooler to this engine. I have the cooler, just need to hoses.

Maybe its cux that sprays the injector twice . I think your right about the system figuring it out .
