For the purposes of my theory, your setup is nearly identical to what I started with.  The air came in the front, blew
past the first rotor, and the rotor in the back wound up with its fuel and part of the front's.  The plate I put in made
it so that the incoming air did not blow past the front rotor's intake toward the second.  Instead, it now has to
pressurize the manifold, and then roll around the plate to approach both runners directly.  I had idle EGT differences
of 400* to 500*, and only evened out when the speed got really fast.  They now hang within 100* at idle, and are dead
even over 2000rpm.

Verifying even flow is a necessary exercise, but from your description I strongly suspect that you have a pressure
distribution problem in your plenum.
