Ben, sorry, but that simply will not work.  You want
the fuel to get into each cyl as evenly as possible. 
The only way to get it right is before the TB where
the MM hose should be, or mount an injector in each
runner.  Whatever you do, go in baby steps and check
your plugs after tunning to make sure they're the same
color and you're not running lean in any cylinders. 
Also, I think the CSV is designed more as a on/off
valve than a high speed pulsed valve. You'll want to
use a plain old fuel injector.
