<VV> Re: LOWER SHROUDS

I've run them without shrouds many times. The biggest downside is the heater 
doesn't do very well. But the engine does run noticeably cooler, and although 
it takes longer to warm up, it doesn't take much longer.

is it really a good idea to run without lower shrouds?  i run with the

cylinders ok.regards, tim colson
