I would suggest you look for similar sized injectors from a 600. If you get the injectors, ECU and loom from a Triumph, these are very easily reprogrammed. You would also have the benefit of coil-on-cap spark coils - but only if you can make it fit of course! Perhaps the electrical system from a 600/650 Daytona can be made to fit? It's the only 4-cylinder injected Triumph I can think of. If so, you can reprogram the whole map (fuel and ignition, fan switch temp, starting "choke" cycle, air/fuel correction factor, I mean really everything, much more than a power commander) using freeware "tuneECU" and a very cheaply available (about £10 through eBay) standard Volkswagen/Audi diagnostic cable. I think if it can work, it will definitely be cheaper than getting a specialist racing computer, and yet equally adjustable.
I have to think fitting 40mm CBR929 throttle bodies and then choking them down to a 32mm intake port is going to create some odd swirling effects and seems unlikely to give the best performance. The 600 Daytona has 38mm throttles, which is still not ideal. The new 2009 600 Diversion and the FZ6R have 4x 32mm throttle bodies. No idea on the spacing or layout. You have a problem with the CBR400 - the cam gears are run through the middle, so any other bike's TB's will require re-spacing to fit. My idea would be find a set of FZ6R (or maybe some other low-tuned 600?) throttle bodies and injectors, and hook up to the ECU and loom from a triumph for the programability. The loom won't care which TB's and injectors are fitted as long as they have a TPS which operates in the right voltage range (I have a spare T595 TPS if it turns out useful) and the injectors are just a simple electrical connector.

Just some food for thought, really! Good luck!
