My goal right now is to get a reliable system with the least amount of work, even if it is not the optimum one. My project is wanting to be an airplane really bad. I don't think my intake is the best it could be, but the EGTs are close to being equal, and I will see soon if I'm making sufficient power for flight. (now that I've about finished the priming and sanding.) If I cure the pooling of fuel in the bottom of the intake, I'll call it good enough. I think the easiest path to that point may be to turn the secondary injectors around to spray into the outer intake runners. Once I'm flying, I can turn my attention to optimizing an intake, and at that point the flange off a 6-port lower manifold will be useful; but, at that point I'll be able to fly out and pick it up from you personally 8*)
