Wet Inside of Intake Manifold?

[808state]

ok, this is probably a dumb question. when i took off my throttle body, it seemed a bit wet around the opening. inside, the throttle body was coated with fuel. basically my question is, is this normal? and if not, what could be causing this? a/f on my wideband looks ok. below are pics. the last pics isn't my car, but it's my throttle body mocked up on someone else's car.

Where are the injectors located? This could be a bit of intake pulse reversion, especially if you have a wild cam.

off the subject but that a good looking yota 3 tc what kinda power you making still in a corrola zane

the injectors are underneath. see below. so is there a way to stop this "intake pulse reversion" or "puddling modeled by X-tau." oh boy, that's way over my head at this point. but it seems to be wet more around the throttle body butterfly(?) than inside of the manifold itself (though it' still wet to the touch).

the cam is suppose to be a mild isky cam (it came with the engine) so i don't know exactly what it is. when warm though, car doesn't want to idle below 1k. don't know if that's a tuning issue or not. but previously with my carb dual 40 setup, it wouldn't idle below 1k either easily.

zane, the pic in the original post isn't my car. i have no clue what hp i'm making. though if i had to guess, i'm guessing something along the lines of a side draft dual 44 setup on a 3tc.

Reversion is just something that exists (depending on your cam, intake harmonics, etc.) and needs to be allowed for, hence the x-tau puddling/wall wetting routine. It's no big deal and will be present to some extent with any cam that is more performance oriented than a lawnmower. It's not necessarily "bad" - it just needs to be accounted for.
