Dead-On Charles.
Intake reversions cause the 'fire about every second time past a
cylinder' lope,
because the cylinders interact through the reversion cloud.
Individual Runners eliminate the interaction.
(And I love that lumpy bitchin'idle)

****From what I've read, there should be no difference in sound between
a 4bbl fuel injection system and a 4bbl carb. The people who have
commented that the lope was tamed have all installed IR injection
systems. I have to wonder if a Weber would do the same? The conclusion
that I took was that individual runner design reduces the lopinesss
