 Sounds good to me, Bill.  With OAT over 100F, my oil would probably hit 205-210F and the coolant perhaps 215 on a hard climbout.  My cowl opening is 3" tall and approx 20" wide, perhaps a bit much, but haven't had any reason to try to reduce the size

 NOW you come up with this!  I already did it the hard way.  Pressure recovery was good, and the biggest improvement came from opening up the cowl flap.  I made a new one that is about twice the size of the original.  Now I can climb out at 25 inches MAP with OAT over 100F, and the oil stays under 200, and the coolant stays about 205.  Does that sound reasonable for temps?
