<VV> LM turbos and no lower shrouds

I bet forty years ago, this same group of owners  would be flip-flopped 
on this survey.  Face it folks, many of us have "matured" a bit since 
driving literally everywhere in a "spirited" manner was typical.

Look at us -- many seem to deem switching from short shrouds for summer 
to long shrouds for winter is too much trouble, so they run one or the 
other year round and say the "cooling is okay" or the "heat is okay" -- 
as we know, that is a pile of bull, whether we will admit it or not.

I have been running a Lakewood since spring, shrouds off  (short shrouds 
added after the NW Econo-Run to Victoria -- I really needed "some" 
heat), in fairly "spirited" driving, and the oil temp gauge was reading 
about 220 F most of the time, but now that cooler weather is here, I 
find days when the oil temp will barely reach 200 F, and I'm going to 
get the full shrouds back on -- no stats planned, yet.  carefully 
deflashed, 62 fan, and folded fin.  dino.  need a thermister.

fwiw,
