RE: different query performance cluster nodes

Second, I'm a little confused - Is node 1 the "first server"? If you didn't flip them around it would tend to make me think nearly everything you need to project the result set is in cache on the "first server" and for some reason you're sucking wind on cache fusion of those blocks to the "second server."

If node 1 is the second server, then never mind...

System stats only exist for a database, not an instance so that shouldn't be the issue.

What if you cause a hard parse on both nodes - what plans do you get - the same ones?

What may be the issue is that stats changed and there was an existing cursor and it has not been invalidated which could explain different plans on different nodes. The other thing to check is that there are no differences in parameters across instances.
