For engines with large displacement using IDA, it is better to add a third progression hole to improve ... engine progressivity. Start with a small drill of 1.2mm and then test it. If it not enough you can enlarge it to 1.5 or 1.8mm.
Sorry for the missing pictures but larger attachements are not possible
Yes to all of the above, the IDFs being smaller make the whole package smaller than IDAs.
