After doing a search on VAF, I have been unable to find any good CHT data to show the results of closing off the ends of the cowl inlet ramps. I found a few pictures, but haven't found much data.
I am considering plugging the ends of my inlet ramps to avoid turbulent or decreased airflow caused by the little openings on the sides of the ramps. My baffles don't do a good job of covering the ends, and it seems a lot easier to simply fabricate my own fiberglass ends. Has anyone else plugged their ramp ends? Is it worth the effort, and if so, do you have any supporting data?
