Great idea. Thanks!

It's one of the things on my list of things to investigate someday. But I was thinking of fans as primarily a water and oil temp solution.
It certainly sounds like a good theory. Maybe I need to change my thinking.

For now, I'm trying to keep any permanent mods to a minimum and as cheap as possible, so new fans may have to wait for phase three. I'm shooting for lower air temps on general principles, not any HP/MPG gains.

I was going to track down some insulation today, but Real Life intruded. I've been posting between chores. I have new front brake rotors now - got some mud in the grooves in one of the pads and it was starting to eat up one of the rotors. Replaced the other rotor "just because".
