Thanks for the update, Stef. Sounds like you've built a fantastic airplane! Make sure the airflow through the air cooler is optimized, and that it has an exit to a low pressure area so air is being sucked through it well. You may need a duct from the cooler to the low pressure area at the bottom rear of the cowling, if you don't already have something like that. As you know, good air flow through the cooler is just important as good oil flow, if not more important. The cooler on my Corvair was marginal, even though I had a duct from the front of the cowling to it, but a differential pressure test across the cooler showed no airflow through it! Creating a low pressure area below it at the bottom rear of the cowling helped improve that. The 19 row cooler should give you a good indication if air flow is sufficient or not. Also, adding the wheel pants soon will get you another 8-10 knots and more airflow through the engine, with the same throttle setting, so that should be high on your to-do list also. Congratulations!
