Here is what he said about them..

 

Cooling is working OK and when I install the bellmouth inlet rings on the inlets I think it will be in final form.   Right now I have what amounts to 5" pitot tubes sticking out of the cowl for inlets.   Not good at high angle of attack in climb

He just expanded the diameter by 1/4 to 1/2" if I remember correctly. They are still round.

Did anyone happen to get a picture of Tracy’s plane at SNF that would show what he has done to modify/improve his cooling inlets?  I am in the “design/invent” mode to try and improve my cooling and I would really appreciate some ideas that work.

 

Anyone seen it that could describe the changes?  Anything would help!   :>)
