Steve
have a look at Paul McAllister's installation, he lowered the oil cooler 
and made other refinements to smooth the airflow. I think there are pix 
on the club website , I have them somewhere, buried in an old HDrive 
that went wrong :-(
Jim Nelson also did some mods and was able to reduce the size of his 
inlet, hopefully reducing cooling drag as well as cooling well in Florida
