Hi Scott- 

Please excuse my ignorance, but how can air flowing around an injector
affect its fuel flow? Is the air leaking into the injector at the
fitting?? I can see how modifying the baffling would alter the
temperature of the individual cylinders, but why would the fuel flow
change? What do you mean by "high speed air"? Are you blocking off part
of the intake manifold?

Call me confused,
