[Diy_efi] Intake manifold flow testing

The sad part about this problem is that it most likely changes with rpm as well
that is to say they can move around. a rich one at 4500 might be a lean one at
6000.  You could probably verify they stay the same by using some egt probes and
data logging them along with rpm map and tps..Above all i think i would only
want to add fuel.. Best idea is get a better intake manifold.

I don't doubt that this is true...but no one's actually ever done any testing to quantify the problem.  Now that I'm running a standalone EMS, I can compensate for this airflow difference.

Is this something I could find a local shop to do, or would I need to send my intake plenum out to someone to have it tested?  Any suggestions?
