Re: 94Z-28 exhaust manifold heat issues

There is always exhaust from 4 cylinders flowing at the merge. The individual runners only flow 1/4 of the time.

I would not use exhaust manifold temp to gage A/F ratio adequacy. What happens at WOT above 5,000 RPM? Does it show signs of leaning out - drop off of power, knock retard, loss of fuel pressure?

What is the estimated flywheel HP of the engine? If it is 360 HP of less, should not be running lean with 24 #/HR (programmed as 24.9 #/HR) injectors. What are ALL modifications to the engine - you don't mention heads/cam?

A data log of the engine under max load would show if it's leaning out:
