RE: Baffles in a cowl
I have made baffles in a number of planes to direct the air flow, usually in planes like the Sukhoi though. An engine doesn't require a lot of air flow but everyone is correct, you need about 2 to 1, sometimes more. From your photos I would try flying the plane before I worried too much about it. Looks like good flow in and out in that cowl. Give it a try beforwe you start doing anything.
