Burr" : After talking with Andy the plenum makes a more efficient use of the cooling air. Then inlets can be reduced thus eliminating drag. The greatest benefit is to eliminate most of the sheet metal and baffeling material, reducing cylinder head temps and oil temp, without reducing power. I am proceeding to the design and production stage on this for my ES. Should be the same as a IVP as the cowlings are the same if the TSIO550 is used. Bryan > any idea what the performance improvement is for adding that?
