It worked to a degree however oil temps were always on the high side and a real worry in the summer here in Australia. A relative easy fix was to take the air off the back of the baffle directly into the oil cooler, this was achieved by constructing a carbon fibre elbow. End of all my overheating temps were reduced by up to 20 degrees F. Total time since installation 226 hours. Hope this information helps as I have seen all sorts of fixes for this same problem.
