Default RE: Is this enough engine cooling?

For PROPER cooling you should use a 3:1 ratio. For every square inch of air inlet, you should have 3 square inches of air outlet. Depending on how cold it is outside when you fly, you MAY be able to get away with a 2:1 ratio. I wouldn't use this ratio for summer flying since the chance of overheating is greatly increased.
