I do suspect the whipple with the front pie opening may be pushing fuel to the fuel to front and not the back especially with 3" runner.
Hoping the Tunellcram helps.
I really need to dyno with 10 o2s to see fuel distribution.
I can tailor timing accordingly per cylinder and if I ever go port then even more so..

Just go to port injection now. Ive been down this road. Mercury runs 7.9:1 comp ratio w 12lbs boost on a mercury 1075 with 93octane and they all live. Also they run there AFR's on the crispy side at 12-12.5 WOT 6000rpm

Personally those boost numbers are kinda dumb. $hitty flowing head with 10 psi is`nt any worse than a good flowing head at 8psi.

I'd have to try and video my computer screen while its running.I can say,I saw 31° of timing at 12lbs of boost and it wasn't super rich at all.

The million dollar question that I have YET to ever hear a legit answer to is what AFR can a "average " BBC boosted motor be tuned to and have no detonation, Im talking typical 4.25 stroke/8.6 to 8.8-1 base, 8 to 10 lbs of boost, typpical cam in the 245/255 give or take range with efi. I have asked multiple fellow engine builders/tuners. And Im NOT talking tailpipe afrs. I know what tailpipe afrs I tune to and I know what cylinder afrs I have seen with my data aquizition but even my plexus knock sensor on my dyno wont tell me that "# 5 is detonating vs a different one , I would maybe see # 5 is LEANEST, . Have only tuned a few holleys so havent gotten to fully explore IF we could get those leanest cylinders down to others, could we lean out the average ones?? theoretically, yes
