So what effect does blocking/redirecting the side intakes have on engine cooling? Anything at all? At a glance it seems like these side scoops may be the only source of cool air for the motor. But there may be more getting through the engine bay then I realize.

Great data apk.... Now you need to stick a sensor on each intake, scoop, and duct.

j/k would be cool data though.

You are really covering a lot of the most interesting readings... great job!!

PS: What was actual baro pressure outside during the run?
