Yep. Very interesting stuff. I noticed that he's running without any oil
cooler at all.
I also notice that he uses "turbulators" ahead of the NACA al la Eric
Westland as I'm planning to do. As he says, a bit of augmentation may help
too.

That makes sense. Cooling requirements and HP tend to have a direct
relationship. I'm hoping to make well over 200 HP, so I guess I'll need
additional cooling.
Another interesting note on Als web site is the changing airflow depending
on attitude. It would be nice to have an on-dash reading of the airspeed
difference either side of the rad. This way you can adjust the attitude for
best cooling if needed.
