Tracy;  While scanning old issues for information on cowling construction, I came across an article in the March 1986 Sport Aviation, explaining air inlets in round configurations.  While I don't understand the engineering aspects, there is a drawing of the various shapes of inlets and their efficiency.  The bell shape is pictured as the best followed by the tapered one.  So your assumption of this subject being something to argue about is certainly correct.  JohnD   From the farm
