Default Different richness left and right sides

Here is a weird one....

Quick fuel Q-750 - set equal on both sides. Don’t remember the exact jets, restrictor, air bleeds, etc, but they are equal for each side of the carb.

Eddy Performer RPM intake (not Air-Gap).

Last week at the track I was noticing the car seemed a little down on power. Around the corners while holding a constant throttle (say 3000 rpm while not accelerating) it would stutter/miss. As soon as I got back into the throttle, the miss would resolve and it would accelerate (at about 80% of what I’d expect).

I pulled a few plugs and noted that the plugs for the driver’s side of the carb (plugs 1,4,6,7) seemed much richer than the passenger side of the carb (plugs 2,3,5,8).

Other than perhaps a dirty carb/plugged passageway, what else could be causing this? Am I stuck pulling the carb apart and soaking it in the ultrasonic carb cleaner? I have sprayed carb cleaner down all 8 air-bleeds without any change.
