Is it safe for me to assume that on your standard single carb setup that cylinder a/f mixture will never be balanced because of the typical intake design?

yes i agree.that is why it is important to blue print everything else. if you dont then the cylinders that are off would be magnified even more so.most power would be made by taking the leanest cylinder and getting it as close to stoich as possible this would give the smoothest operating hp.details details makes it fun to play.i beleive that the taller the plenum the more consistent a carb setup is.just wish i had the dough to efi my little motor.guess i will have to settle for one tall arse intake.lol makes for good chat though.ps i do know of 2 porters that get the runners within a few cfm though.$$$$$$$$$$$
