This is great stuff. Remember the OEMs are nearly strangled by the EPA requirements, drive cycles on the dyno, drivability requirements, and keeping the parts costs to an absolute minimum.
Lots of stuff that makes sense to the OEM from a cost / part / volume mix standpoint, do not apply in any way shape or form to what we would build in our home shop with limited resources.
I have to believe for the vast number of guys, bank fire is just fine... and can still compete or exceed the performance of a carburetor with allot less fuel stains left on top of the intake from swapping jets, power valves, etc.
Sequential is where the engine masters guys really get to test the water - and I'm sure happy to read what they discover.
For an inline six - sequential has merit - but shared ports sure muddy the waters.
I'm listening and learning Randal - what you're implementing here I will borrow from when it's 292 time for the '54.
