You obviously you have the technology to monitor, what would a colder plug do in those high cylinders more or less burn?
Just throwing out thoughts. Probably some dumb ones. lol
(Now we are all worried about our builds after your findings)
yes, all 02s are as close to equally distanced from head as possible. I dont feel what im seeing is anything new, just no one measured this much till recent past. We'v sll seen Egts vary from high 1100s to 1400s on open plenum single 4bbl.motors, so we we would stagger jet motor a little, egt would maybe drop a titch snd we'd call it done. So, when we saw egts at 1380/1400 on 7/8 in past , what afr were THOSE cylinders at, i bet it wasnt 12.5! So, if they were at 14-1 at wot and lasted years, thats the question.

I realize it is a bit ham fisted and archaic....but have you considered putting extremely small zip ties through the boosters (or notching boosters)? Non symmetrical boosters are semi common in OEM carbs to help with distribution.

Is this a problem with forced induction like the 525sc that is single carbed? Is TBI any better (doubtful)? This really illustrates the beauty of tuned runners on MPI.
