Terry,
Chris Staines re-worked his 914 mono cowl last winter.
Moved the "chin" back to just in front of the radiator and cut down the
size a bit. Also cleaned up the outflow area at the rear of the cowl.
As the cowling is now closer to the muffler and exhaust pipes he had to
add some reflective heat shield material to the inside of the cowl.
Looks neat, sort of Mustang like and seems to have improved cooling.
As to speed, Chris thinks he has picked up 1 or 2 knots, really hard to
measure as so many things come into play.
It is a lot of work for a small gain.

No one has said anything about the XS cowl.
