In talking with Francois from Mistral engines at
Oshkosh, his contention on injector placement was that due to pressure swings in
the intake manifold, they felt that they were getting condensation of fuel on
the runners when the injectors were far from the port, with subsequent
fractionation of the fuel into a lighter component, and a heavier component. The
heavier component then was eventually pulled into the engine, did not burn
completly, and finished burning in the exhaust, raising their EGT's.
FWIW

Yes, but fuel that condenses on the sides
of the runners
finds its way into the combustion chamber as relatively
large, unburnable, droplets.
