I agree, this may be a lead in to why Ferrari chose to go with dual TB's on their FPC V8's.

If I'm not mistaken, traditionally a FPC V8 engine has separate intake tracts for each bank so that one bank (due to the firing order) won't "steal" intake air from the other bank's adjacent cylinder. They are treated like 2 independent 4 cylinder engines with a common crankshaft. Because the Voodoo uses a common intake manifold due to packaging, they had to change the firing order to prevent this theft, which is why the Voodoo crank has a different pin arrangement: up-down-up-down vs. up-down-down-up, like a Ferrari. Of course, having 2 separate intake tracts required 2 throttle bodies.

This is my understanding as well.
