Further to my previous reply:
It just dawned on me you'll be using headers, so you won't get an "averaging"
effect from, say, two sensors on a stock setup.
Still, unless you're going to use 6 carburettors you won't be able to adjust the
mixture to individual cylinders, so I don't see a real benefit to this.
