Sprearship, Tanks for the clarification. I will report on rotor temps from my tracking session mid-May. As suggested by Kenchan, i'll take temps with blocked and open air vents.

Track results (strange...)

 Your guess was right...Quote:
Group, Here's some feedback on the cooling effects of this mod. Over the week-end, i had my first lapping event at the Mont-Tremblant circuit. After each 30 minute lapping session, i recorded the front rotors temps with a digital laser reader. Voila the results with open air ducs and blocked air ducs: Morning runs: - 8h30-9h00 (open air ducs) Left Rotor: 488F & Right rotor: 411F - 9h30-10h00 (open air ducs) LR: 501F & RR: 440F - 10h30-11h00 (blocked air ducs) LR: 490F & RR: 434F  Afternon runs: - 13h00-13h30 (open air ducs) LR: 535F & 503F - 14h00-14h30 (blocked air ducs) LR: 511F & 488F I stopped recording rotor temps after this point... Track notes: - This great track has a majority of right turns; - The front left wheel is receiving the most stress; - At the end of the straight line i was reaching 138MPH (hoping for some serious air to warned the brakes). Conclusions: Based on those numbers, i have to conclude that this mod is worthless... Even worst, it seems that the centrifude force of the wheel spinning does a better job in keeping the temp down then having the air ducs  .Can anyone put a light into these findings? Thanks, Phil Att. Pics with blocked air ducs.
