Mike,
I found (and many others have) that opening up all 4 "gills" on both sides
lets out to much air. I eventually would up closing off two on each side -
leaving two open.
You open up the inside edge.
Also it helps cooling if you cut the cowl lip on the front bottom cowling
back. I cut mine way back and added some foam behind it to smooth out the
airflow entering the oil and water coolers. This helped lower my ground
running temp's quite a bit.
