With NA setup, a shorter FD does help. Specially in the 86, you will stay in the power band the whole run. The acceleration will get quicker as well.

As for your FI, I think you won't be needing longer FD unless u push 380whp or greater on a Turbo setup. With a supercharger, you dont need to go longer, coz power and boost comes with RPM unlike the turbo. So keeping it rev happy helps building ur supercharger boost
