<VV> Head temp - Lft vs Rt

[Sadek Charles H DLVA]

Ned,
	I would like to see an accurate comparison between sides without
shrouds.  Reason is, I wonder about the effect of the fan directional flow.
Seems like it would fill the shroud and pressurize it, which is what seems
to happen according to my pressure sw on the top of the shroud center,
toward the "firewall".  Race engine, no shrouds, no pressure-or at least not
enough to trip the sw at low rpm.  This is connected to a light which goes
on if I lose pressure, i.e. belt, and is on, of course at low rpm.

Hey,  That would be great.  My GUESS is that the rt side might warm up a bit
faster, but once the door is fully open, the temps will be fairly close left
and right.
