Just a suggestion chris--- You might want to evaluate the flow out of your cowling. Airflow many times is counterintuitive.before you start ripping into your cowl determine where the problem is. Tuft inflow and exit with stands of yarn and blow through (strong Fan). You might find that no matter what your Intake is like, the air dams up and will not flow appropriately.
The exit of cooling air is as important if not more important than the entrance
Air does not always usably go from high pressure to low

I want to but I am having some serious cooling issues on high speed taxi, up to over 250 degrees for a few minutes (yikes). I tried something with modified NACA's based on Velocity Inc reducing cooling issues when they changed
from armpit scoops to top NACA's, however, that is not working so I am going to a more direct ram air with a P-51 scoop. I hope to start the conversion later today. The process may have intimidated me years ago, but, hey, the Gov'ment
says I be a "Repairman" ;-)

Are you ready to take advantage of that transition training? When is the first flight? :>)
