Alex,

	From what I've heard talking to folks that had experience 
building plenum-style intakes, this is exactly what is happening.

	So, the right thing to do would be to tune the manifold to get 
even air distribution.   If that can't be done, then we should feed more 
fuel to the last cylinder.
