I measured fuel pressure differential between the two TBI was .5psi. This was enough for GM to use staggered injectors of
63/65 # F/R to equalize fuel delivery. No other TBI injectors were available that would retain the stagger and deliver more fuel needed for higher hp. It became necessary to run individual fuel lines to each TBI so that equal size injectors could be used. So I am speculating that there may be a slight pressure drop at the left hand fuel rail due to the added distance fuel travels to reach it. Perhaps the use of injectors with different mechanical and electrical properties could also magnify the differential.

A way to isolate on this theory would be to re-route the fuel to the left side first. Painful to do but would be conclusive.
