Hi Jos,
I don't have any pictures, but I will try to describe the mod to you.
The top of the radiator duct is a sheet of aluminum (lets call it the
'separator') that splits the cowl into two areas, the lower area is for
the radiators, the top area contains everything else (engine, muffler,
etc.). The lower area has the big square inlet opening, the top area
has two eyeball inlets. In the stock condition, the lower aft exit is
used for both (ignoring the gills), strongly favoring the lower radiator
area, with just small openings in the sides for air to exit from the top
area.
Lying under the rear of the cowl, I used a 'nibbler' to remove
material from the rear of the 'separator', allowing more air from the
top area into the common exit. I probably removed about three inches
off the rear of the 'separator'. The intent was to provide an exit area
for the top portion of the cowl that was about 150% of the eyeball inlet
area.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Terry

Hi Terry,
[quote:ffc914ab8d="terrys at cisco.com"] I neglected to mention that
when we closed off our gills we also opened up the lower cowl exit area
and baffled the area between the foot wells

Interesting,
How did you do that opening up, is it possible for you to attach a
picture (or 2)
