The best I've been able to accomplish is on a radial engine. I've come close on a TCM O-520, but not quite. I think the real issue is to get the fuel in as small as possible droplets and as vaporized as possible as early in the induction system as possible. That evens out the F:A distribution to all of the cylinders better than anything we've tried.
