Intake Manifolds... 3am ramblings

I spent hours this evening looking for a picture of a Man-A-Fre 4 carb intake for an FE to no avail.
Then after almost falling asleep again it hit me.

If you had 4 carbs and 4 small plenums with two cylinders each all would have nice pulse seperations except #7 and 8 which fire in sequence.
Perhaps that is why the XE numbered dual quad Tunnel Port intake I used to have had a divider cast across the back seperating #4 and 8 from the rest of the plenum?

Maybe the ideal intake needs to find a way to isolate #7 from #8? Perhaps this is why a dual plane sometimes doesn't cost much power even though half it's ports have a bad head entry angle?
