This is good food for thought but how many engines have you looked at for left vs right running more lean?
Seems counter intuitive. I wonder what would possibly contribute to this? Injector variances left to right would normalize out over many engines. Placement of the IAC on the right side? ???? nahhh

I'm no code writer, but it's my understanding that due to SPFI, it would not be hard to program individual L/R fuel trims to help even things out.
What's interesting is that it is almost always the left bank which runs leaner than the right. So it may not be injectors. This "split BLM" is not as pronounced in stock motors as it is in modded ones. And idle or low rpm operation has a greater degree of it than high speed cruising from my observation of it.
