Your dad let my 12 year old daughter sit in his car. She had never even been to a drag race before and he really left an impression on her. I asked her if she would ever like to try a drag and drive her eyes light up. I have never raced before but it looks like fun. Even better if I could share it with her. Thank you for taking the time to meet us.

Need to re-design the intake manifold/plenum. For some reason seams the airflow is favoring certain cylinders. Making them run lean and unequal power production between the 6. Also could be cylinder to cylinder fuel/spark tuning/adjustments… need made. I would do a central inlet on the plenum, also indirect. Meaning the butterfly points to the “roof” or “floor”. Therefore it’ll equally pressurize the plenum by indirect airflow. Boost will likely read higher, but cylinder to cylinder distribution will be dialed 👍🏻🤘🏻👏🏻

Those EGT deltas are wild, the finest cheap-o sensors (from a country I can't type the name of or my comment will auto-delete) or not I don't recall hearing you talk about installing EGT sensors (my bad if I missed something!), but did you try to make them uniform, so you get some semblance of useful data out of them other than just whether a hole is hot or cold? Whaddya suppose makes the huge deltas? Time for separate cooling for the block and the head, perhaps with separate pumps?

I don't have a ton of experience with EGTs. I tried to install them all with a uniform depth. My hope with the EGTs was to sort of be a go no-go gauge. Basically is the cylinder firing or not.

Well AFR is just an average of all the cylinders since there is probably only 1 sensor so like if the flows less it can be lean and even if a couple others flow more then that can make the AFR lower so all cylinders get less fuel making it worse that's kinda the reason to have 6 egt sensors it's not as good as 6 O2 sensors but much cheaper just should have trusted them more or checked it out
