Here is what he said about them..
Cooling is working OK and when I install the bellmouth
inlet rings on the inlets I think it will be in final form. Right
now I have what amounts to 5" pitot tubes sticking out of the cowl for
inlets. Not good at high angle of attack in climb

He just expanded the diameter by 1/4 to 1/2" if I
remember correctly. They are still round.

anyone happen to get a picture of Tracy’s
plane at SNF that would show what he has done to modify/improve his cooling
inlets? I am in the “design/invent” mode to try and improve
my cooling and I would really appreciate some ideas that work.
Anyone seen it that could describe the
changes? Anything would help! :>)
