Sox,

It's just the opposite.

The front cylinders run richer than the rear.

It's called "the occult migration of fuel!"

The continuous injection causes gas vapors to build up while the valve is
closed, and these vapors tend to float into the intakes of the other
cylinders. This is why the rear cylinders burn richer than the front in
typical 6 cyl fuel injected aircraft engines. The sequential injection in
car engines eliminates this problem. The fuel injected aircraft engine is
not much better than, if not worse than, the central ( throttle body )
injection system.

It would be nice to see this technology transferred to aero engines as
it looks like it improves fuel economy and gets more power for the same
size engine. Well, don't hold your breath....unless you jump over to
rec.aviation.homebuilt

The fuel economy improvements are seen at lighter loads. At aircraft type
loads (60+%) and at altitude you can't run lean and/or stratified so you
don't gain much economy.

The improvment in power from the increased volumetric effciency and
charge cooling would still apply.
